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!
