‘The Guy Who Decides Shoe Sizing’ has a lot of explaining to do

Poke Staff. Updated March 27th, 2022

Anybody who has ever bought shoes knows the torment caused by the insane sizing systems that differ from region to region – not to mention the extreme unreliability of those systems.

The wonderful Jimmy Rees has sent his Guy Who Decides out into the world to explain how that all happened.

He added ‘I researched this for hours and I think I’m the only person who understands it now but also … I’m confused and that’s not guaranteed!!! 🥴’

YouTube users are probably none the wiser, either, to be fair. Here’s what they said about it.

Although he said he was confused, Jason did very well keeping up with that information. Give him a raise!!

I now feel far less stupid for recently buying a pair of shoes from the UK and getting it majorly wrong! I reckon I was off by at least 4 barley corn! At least I could return them. Cost me $20 to send them back though!

The more of these I watch the more I feel like I’ve unknowingly stepped into the prequel of Jason: The Man Who Obliterated Barleycorn from Existence.

Perhaps Jimmy can turn his brain to this heartfelt plea from Angela Farrell.

I’d love to hear the explanation of women’s clothing sizes 🤔 you want a size 12 to be the same across all brands? Nope!!

Poor Jason’s head would spin.
