Understanding the Sidi Shoe Sizer and sizing frustration
Downloaded the Sidi Shoe Sizer and printed it out. Standing on it tells me:
Left Foot: 46.5 ish
Right Foot: 46

Broke out a ruler (only has mm and cm, so inches are calculated) and carefully measured my foot:

Right foot
26.9 cm long 10.59"
10.3 cm wide 4.055"

Left foot
27.3 cm long 10.748"
9.8 cm wide 3.858"

Measurements start from 0 cm

Then, using an international shoe size calculator lookup table it tells me the closest sizes are:

Right foot: 43
Left foot: 44

Can anyone tell me what's going on? Are the Sidi sizes non-standard? Is my .pdf printout incorrectly sized?

I've ordered a set of size 43 Genius 5's from the UK. Thinking them to be too small, I had them removed from my order. Now I'm confused and not sure.

And foot wizards out there that can assist? Cheers!
