British feet are getting bigger - growing, on average, two shoe sizes since the 1970s, says the College of Podiatry.
Today, the average male wears a UK size 10 compared with a size eight shoe 40 years ago.
The average woman wears a size six versus a size four, its research suggests.
Our taller, heavier bodies are to blame - our feet have compensated by growing longer and wider, says the college.
Its poll of 2,000 UK adults reveals people also perceive that their feet have got bigger.
