What does size 13H shoe size mean?

What does the H mean?
I'd assume it is the width.

Yup, width - and I think H is the widest you can get as well (I'm an 8G/8H), so anyone with the shoe size 13H must have incredible feet!
I work in a shoe department and when we put 'H' after a size, it means 'half' so I would assume it to mean 13 and a half. Maybe that's different though?

'H' seems far too wide to be a width fitting, all the shoes we sell are C/D/E!

H is the width. they do sizing by width as well as length more in shops like Clarks, where they do loads of childrens shoes so fitting both ways is important. My brother was an H, he had amazingly wide feet! :biggrin:

We do indeed... I work at Jane Shilton and the majority of widths are size C.

Wow, I didn't think it was possible to have H width!:eek: :redface:

The 'H' in shoe sizes means that it is a half size. For example, a size 9H would equal size 9 1/2.
