    Not just a women problem, my own jeans are 32. My workout pants are M, my work pants are size 50.

    Shoes should be standardized, i have pair of converse size 39 and a pair of nike jordan’s (possibly fake, not sure got them as a gift from a friend) size 44. I’m usually a 42 or 42,5.

      For 20 years i buy pants size 32. They always fit. But yeah, somehow my work pants are size 46 to 48 for some reason. M is often to big on the waist and S is tiny.

      Oh so I know about the shoe one. The sizes are standardised in length but not in width so you can have narrow fit and need a larger length in one shoe, or wide fit and a shorter length in a different shoe.

      So the shoes are standardised (sort of, Europe and the US have 2 different standardised systems), but the standard is so confusing it may as well not be a standard.
