size 8
Common shoe designation
Size 8 is a clothing or shoe measurement that falls in the middle of standard ranges.
In American women's clothing, size 8 is considered medium—neither petite nor plus-size.
In shoes, size 8 is average for women, smaller for men.
The number itself carries no universal standard; a size 8 in one brand may fit differently in another: I'm usually a size 8, but I had to go up in this dress.
