lechiffreAre shoes getting smaller?
It seems like everything is getting smaller, except for my waistline.
.....now I'm starting to think it's the pants.

Same here, mine went from 12 to 13.

A burden we must bear.

ranger312I have worn the same size New Balance running shoes for years. During Covid you couldnt get them for nearly a year. During that time they apparantly switched to overseas manufacturing.
When they were available again, I ordered a pair and they were actually BIGGER than before. Enough so that I proabably should have returned them, but I didnt.

valkyrie1Always have worn 10 1/2 Ds, What I find is the manufacturers are inconsistent with their sizing. Ordered half a dozen hiking walking shoes from major brands before I found one that fit right.
