The findings also point to the importance of considering Australia’s multi-ethnic population when designing footwear.

Of the 25 participants who said shoes were often too narrow, 60% were from North-East Asian, South-East Asian or Southern Asian backgrounds. The study was not designed to establish differences between individual ethnic groups, and the researchers said further research with a larger sample would be needed.

Huh, even shoe sizes are eurocentric. Shouldn’t be surprising I guess.
