This is where the Brannock fails — it doesn't take into account things like arch and stance, both of which required more width for my feet to feel comfortable. That made me a super-rare size: an 8 EE. Kilbourne told me that out of 9,000 pairs of shoes sold in the last year, only 62 were 8 EE. I tried not to read into this too much — put simply, I have weird feet. (I also learned that my left foot is bigger and wider than my right foot, but I suppose this is pretty normal.)
