Hi all,
Are these sizes the US or UK sizings? I know there's a difference of one size number, a UK 8 equals a US 9. It would make a difference when deciding on which kayak one could fit into without modifying the deck.

It's one of the reasons I use metric most of the time. Less ambiguity.
Except for Shimano cycling shoes, they're one metric size smaller than the size marked. A 42 (UK 8, US 9) is actually a 41 (UK 7 1/2, US 8 1/2). Ouch.
