I would like to ask if anyone has seen 6S applied in the shoe industry. As a married man (yes ladies, I am married) I have spent many a Saturdays in the mall with my wife looking for shoes. She says she is a size 11 shoe, but always tries on size 8’s beacause she says they are never the size they are marked, lots of variation!
As a matter of fact; I didn’t know there was so much variation in footware, and if they ever solve this problem I would like to suggest they bring it to the woman’s fashion industry since she’s a size 28 and always tring to get into anything marked 18. (I’m kidding; Ma’s not that big…but it adds to the story and I hate the mall!)
Later,

The purpose of this is to increase customer satisfaction making feet size seem smaller, and increase repeat business. This way any one can fit into a size 7 as long as they dont mind paying $300.00 for a pair shoes.
