This is true. I believe there is roughly two shoe sizes difference (e.g. a
man's size 7 is a woman's size 9). But better ask a shoe salesperson for a
more accurate figure.

Subject: Re: update on shoe size and negative r
Congratulations, Ken! That looks like a great demo. There is one thing I
wondered about as this demo was being proposed. Aren't men's and
women's shoe sizes on different scales? A size 5, for example, may not
mean the same for both (personal communication, my wife, C. Froman,
speaking for the women in her office).
