    ~50% of men probably wear a size 9-11 shoe

    That’s a “Large” sock

    Man with a size 8 shoe could probably still wear a “Large” sock and be fine.

    ~75% of women wear a size 7-9

    Women with 6 or 6.5 should still be able to wear a 7-9 sized sock.

    Families have genetically similar feet

    I know from my experience, my father, my brother, and I all wear the same size. We all had different preferences and our own socks, but I could have easily worn their socks.

      Yeah it’s definitely more reasonable than maybe it seems.

      As kids we had pretty similarly sized feet. And I don’t think I noticed if the socks I was wearing were too big or too small anyway, even now I have some socks that are bigger or smaller than others.

      And my parents had their own socks, so the sock basket was just for me and the sibs.
