    Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don’t think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

      It’s absolutely not common unless you’re getting custom shoes or some other 1%er activity

        Every shoe store I have ever been to, including thrift stores, had one of those foot measuring things.
