Addition to the Shoes section of the Gear Guide

I was thinking that perhaps adding a drop down box or two to the shoe reviews might help control the number of shoe threads.

Something like:
I bought this Shoe [0, .5, 1, 1.5 etc.. ] number of sizes smaller than my street shoe.
This Shoe stretched about [ 0, .5, 1, 1.5, etc..] sizes after it was broken in.
Then maybe an average of the inputs could be posted somewhere in the item description?

I know you guys have a lot of stuff you are working on first, but I thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone else thinks it might be helpful.

IMO, that might not be as useful as one would think. there are shoes that i've bought, happily, .5 size down whereas a friend bought the same shoe 2 whole sizes down. it all depends on how you prefer your shoes; it isn't indicative of the average fit.

now that *would* be very useful...assuming that people are accurate in discerning much it stretched. and it would better serve the same purpose than the intended data from above ("sizes smaller than street").

I actually agree with you there, the reason I added that one is maybe one person buys them 2 sizes small and ends up stretching them 1 full size, but someone else buys them 1 size small and only ends up with 1/2 size stretch. That may help someone reading the reviews get a better point of reference.

Edit : Poor grammer.

imho a better thing to do would be to note how much they stretched. so youd know what to expect.
