In the United States, there are different sets of shoe sizes for men, women, and children. Shoe sizes are "determined," or found, by measuring how long a foot is, from the tip of the largest toe to the very back part of the heel. This is normally done in shoe stores where there is a foot-shaped metal plate with numbers to measure feet. The width is also measured and is given a letter on this plate. Most stores use the same kind of template made by the same company, so it's almost certain that the size you get in one store will be the same size you'll get in another store.

Women's sizes are equal to men's sizes plus 1.5., so that a size 7 in men's shoes is a size 8.5 (or 8 1/2) in women's shoes. For children's shoes, sizes for girls and boys are the same.
