I have a really stupid question about shoe width:
Is the width (as denoted, for example, by the letter D) relative to the overall size (as denoted by a number) or finite? In other words, is an 8E the same width as a 11E? I think I had assumed that an increase in shoe size (the number, that is) meant an overall bigger shoe (length* and *width), and the width increments (letters) were relative to the overall size rather than absolute.
