Female Women’s 11.5 (I usually wear men’s 9 for comfort in sneakers, etc) 6’. Update for the sake of the hypothesis testing: I had size 10 (women’s) feet when I was 12, but I was also 5’7" at that point. So they were oversized for my height at the time, but I kinda grew into them (and then some). ---

So, when are we going to correlate the male shoe size with penis size? (asks the guy who wears size 16s) 😃 ---

[QUOTE=elfkin477] This was what I wanted to test: In my observation thus far, women’s feet size has seemed much more closely related to their height then men’s. The only women I’ve ever met with big feet have also been very tall for women, but on the other hand I’ve met several short men with big feet. So I want to see if this might be test-able. I haven’t figured out a way to sort the data yet to see if this bears out, but a couple people have begged for the hypothosis, so there you have it. [/QUOTE] Easiest test is to partition the data by gender and compute the correlation coefficient for each data set. If they’re significantly different, you’re on to something. ---
