Shoe Size to Sock Size Chart (in inches)
Shoe Size to Sock Size Chart ©Catherine Goodwin 1998 (see © notice below)
Why do socks and shoes have different sizing? One of those weird garment industry things...
When I set out to find out about shoe sizes, I was surprised to find that across the industry, there is not an overall accepted standard. So, I gathered up numbers from around the world, averaged them, and came up with this chart of US sizes.
I think it is a little more accurate than some, because it didn't originate from one single company, regardless, I hope it is useful, it can also be found in Sock Options for Machine Knitters. Socks are better snug than loose, but too snug and they will wear out quicker-- a Goldilocks phenomena!
Happy sock knitting!
