Most do provide measurement translations into inches and cms. But oddly a 30” is 32” and 34” actually measures 36” for waist sizes even in “true to fit”. Vanity!
I can argue this point right now. I have measured my foot, it is 28 CM, and I have consistently bought shoes with that size in mind without fail.
Until recently, where I have been trying to order a pair of Teva sandals (I live far away from standard stores for purchasing brand name items, and often don't do it except for shoes, beds, office chairs, etc), and I got the size that compared to 28 CM. Too big. Go down a size. Still too big. 25 CM in Teva is officially 28 CM everywhere else. Why the inconsistency?
There's a stark difference between waist size and foot size. There's not a lot you can do to change the size of your feet, but diet and exercise affect your waist.
I used to wear a 36 or 38 waist pants. I've managed to get that down to a 30, but I'm back up to a 32. I've also been buying Levi's jeans with some elastic in them, so maybe I've gone back up more, but I'm willing to lie to myself and say I'm still a 32.
