> Hmm. Shoe sizes could be a problem. Aren't they measured differently in different places? The inside of my shoe says USA 7, UK 4 1/2, EVR 37.5, CM 24. The first two would appear to be US and UK sizes and the last one is the length of my foot in centimeters but the EVR 37.5 part is a mystery. Does anyone else know?

Really? My shoes say this:

USA 10
EUR 44

MEX 29
UK 9½
463 (10)
378 Size

The big 10 is in a circle, and this is my American shoe size, and the 463 over 378 is written as a fraction. I don't know what the fraction means.

Still, if anyone asks, I can say my shoe size is 44.

(Psst! Rivikah! Maybe the V in EVR is really a U! After all, Rome is in Europe.)
