We would be all outraged. Thing of how much more time it will take to purchase a pair of shoes --- opening all these boxes from different brands, trying to find a pair that might fit. And once we find a pair that fit, oh no, they do not give us enough arch support or its hurts after taking a few steps. Imagine the frustration. And yet, we let the clothing industry get away with this because it appeals to our vanity. We are all idiots! :D<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('115','asithi'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('115','asithi','Can you imagine the shoe industry deciding to do the same thing with shoe sizes?
