did you know the average shoe size has gotten bigger in the last 50 years?

Question

50-60 years ago the average shoe size for a woman was a 4 now its a 7 1/2. the average size for a man was a 7 and now its a 10. why are our feet getting bigger....the real questions is are we turning into hobbits or something?????? will our feet be monstrous in another 50 years?

Answer 1

I noticed my shoes have been feeling a little tight lately...

Answer 2

People have gotten taller too...the real question is whether people of the same heights are wearing larger shoes than they did 50 years ago.

Answer 3

Nutrition. For instance, with the increased use of dairy in the far east, the populous is becoming nearly as large as those in the West.



My feet are just big because I'm excited.

Answer 4

if you'll also notice, the average height has also increased over the years. just go into older houses and check out the height of the door frames. also hobbits didn't have large feet except in relation to their bodies.

Answer 5

The results of chemicals being added to the food source. Humans have gotten taller and heavier as well except for people in very poor 3rd world countries.

Answer 6

The average everything, in general, is getting bigger.

Show size, height, weight, etc, etc.



You name it.

What does this have to do with religion/spirituality though?

Answer 7

You ought to know that folks are much larger now.......due to increased nutrition. Many theaters have had to put in wider seats. The airlines OUGHT to follow suit!

Answer 8

Larger, more expansive understanding. By the way, everything has gotten bigger.

Are you sure it's not the way we have measured shoes that has changed?
