no it isnt, if i put a 15mm socket on a 9/16 inch bolt it will spin or round off.
9/16" == 14.28mm
now im not sure if pedal wrenches use some sort of wacky math, but i dont think i have ever seen a 15mm socket or wrench fit a 9/16" bolt

Really fore. Every nut and bolt is metric on every new bike I work on. The only standred measurement I deal with are 20", 24", and 26" wheels.

nuts & bolts may be all be metric now, but there are still other parts of a bike that are standard. steerer tube diameters come to mind, the pitch and width of a chain, axle diameters, pedal spindle diameters, bearing sizes...
