When I was in college I wore a size 10 shoe now 20 years later I am up to a 12. Are the sizes changing or are my feet getting bigger?

i think your feet are getting bigger. i have been the same since i graduated h.s. ....20 years ago.
I've found over the last twenty-five years that I've stayed in the same size range, depending on the brand. Having said that, a lot of companies are still notoriously bad about fit--depending on the brand, i can be anything from a size 8 to a 9 1/2, with 9 being my size in most shoes.
Interesting, I have gone from a size 8 about 8-10 years ago to a 7.5 a few years ago, and now sometimes I have to wear a 6.5 or 7. I think they're trying to make men feel bigger and women feel smaller so that they'll feel better about themselves and buy more stuff.
I've gone up about a size from 15-20 years ago, too. But I've also switched from mostly Brooks and Nike to mostly Asics (fka Tiger, I believe). That may have something to do with it.
I think it might be a bit of both. I was an 8 1/2 in my early 20s and a 9, usually, in my early 30s. A couple of years ago I moved to 9 1/2. Again I'll add "usually" because there are differences among the sizing of different shoes. In the last few months, I've been getting early 80s shoes to run in and find that I'm a 9 in them, as I was in the early 80s.
Thanks for the info
