Why do men have bigger feet in contrast to women? Why aren’t their average foot sizes equal?

984 views

Despite the differences between countries, the average foot size for women changes between US women’s 5 to 10 (EU 35 to 42), whereas the one for men changes between US men’s 7 to 10 (EU 40 to 44), except a few ones like [a man from Europe I saw on IG having EU 38 feet which is pretty small for a male and wearing women’s shoes especially the ones with pointy toes and stiletto heels](https://instagram.com/withhighheels?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)

Saw a few men with feet bigger than US 10 too, like Shaquille O’Neal with size 22 and Dwayne Johnson with size 14.

Why is there such a difference?

I think what OP is actually asking but doesn’t know it is why do humans have sexual dimorphism. Because as others have said, the feet are proportional to the rest of the body (I.e height, weight, muscle mass and so on, so forth).
