I do not know what size shoe you wear. I wear a US men's size 13, as measured on one of those Brannock devices. I have a relatively narrow foot.

I am telling the entire shoe industry if they are listening, US men's size 13 does NOT fit into a shoe marked (european) 46. They barely, and uncomfortably, fit into a european size 47 but would better fit into a 48.

Yes, my feet have been measured recently. The (slightly) larger of my two feet measures a US size 13.

For example,I recently mail ordered a replacement pair of Keen sandals. They were identical in style and outward appearance to a pair that is wearing out. The originals were marked 13. The replacements have this stamping on them that say, amongst other sizing info, Euro 47 and US 13. The replacement pair is physically smaller than the older pair (proabably made to US standards) that were marked only as size 13. My guess is the replacement pair was likely made on a size 47 shoe last. It is truly a Euro 47. It is not a US 13. They barely fit me and MUCH less comfortable than the older US 13.

No matter the markings on the shoe, I need a US 13. I think the closest Euro size to this is a 48 (not 46 or 47).

I hesitate to special order something like a shoe which may or may not fit unless I have the option to return it. Most shops do not allow this on special orders.
