Shoe sizes are indicated by a numerical value representing the length of the shoe, with different systems used globally. European sizes are measured in Paris Points, while the UK and American units are based on whole-number sizes spaced at one barleycorn (1/3 inch) with UK adult sizes starting at size 1 = {{cvt|8+2/3|in|cm|1}}. In the US, this is size 2. Men's and women's shoe sizes often use different scales,{{citation needed|date=September 2020}} and some systems are measured using a [[Brannock Device]] which considers the width and length size values of the feet. The Mondopoint system, introduced in the 1970s by International Standard ISO 2816:1973 "Fundamental characteristics of a system of shoe sizing to be known as Mondopoint" and ISO 3355:1975 "Shoe sizes – System of length grading (for use in the Mondopoint system)" includes measurements of both length and width of the foot.<ref>{{cite patent|country=US|number=1725334|title=Foot-measuring instrument|status=patent|pubdate=1929-08-20}}</ref><ref>R.
