LOL. Maybe I am as dumb as I look.
Jeanne, if I follow you, then the measurements I gave Jo are in
centimeters?

HTH I wear a size 8 shoe in the US. On the inside of the tongue (under the
laces) is printed the following information 4E (I have a wide foot)
US 8
UK 7 1/2
EU 41.5
CM 26
My size 8 ( 4 E is the width) shoe measures 4 1/2" ( 12 1/2 CM) across the
widest part. I can sometimes wear a 7 1/2 if I find them wide enough..
I measured right foot from the bottom edge of the paper to the end of my big
toe measures
9 1/4 inches
23 1/2 CM
Hope this will help you.
