Amazon has a great bit of Gender going on if you're trying to find boots
You might think you pick Men's or Women's and a size, but no!
The sizes themselves are gendered, you have to pick size Mens-10 or size Womens-12, which is separate from the gender option

@foone I have a question.. are shoe sizes non gendered elsewhere?

Australia, UK and seemingly US (at least from the conversion chart I had working selling shoes sometimes in a department store)

all i remember is genders and wondering why.

@obfusk @LottieVixen I'll have to import some of these european genderless shoes

@obfusk @LottieVixen @foone it's not, because it's just a direct measurement of foot length. But width sometimes will be (since that isn't standardised the same way)

@swift @obfusk @LottieVixen That makes exactly the amount of sense I expect, good to know

@swift @obfusk @foone well.. fuck I'm glad I asked because I'm learning stuff :D
