If I wear size 8.5 in women's shoes, what is my size in men's shoes?
A long time ado I was a salesman for local shoe chain. The length equivalent for a women’s 8.5 is a 7, However there is a difference in widths. A mans normal width is a D, while a ladies is a B, so if the woman;s foot is normal width for a lady, the mens 7 will be too wide. I have an interesting story about this in reverse. One time I served a lady with her tween age son he had a men’s size 7 length, but his foot was very narrow. I tried several pairs of men’s size 7 on him and all were too wide I then told them that there was an alternative. I grab 2 pairs pf ladies sized shoes one pair of boat shoes and a pair of penny loafers in a lsdies size 8.5B, the guy tried on both pairs and neither fell off his feet but stayed in place. Mom and son were both amazed.. Then I had to tell them that this was a woman’’s size. I explained the difference and showed the same shoe in a man’s style and eventually they agreed the styles were the same, and I sold a doubleheader two pairs. I also told them this option would only work up to size 8.5 in men’s length (women’s 10) as few ladies shoes come longer, This would not continue to be a problem, for once a mans length reaches 9, then B widths were available.

What does jeans size 34x32 mean? How can this be translated into other sizes?
It is waist x length of the jeans.The first number, 34, is the size around the waist in inches and the second number 32 is the length of the leg, also in inches. For other sizes I think this picture sums it just right (I think this is for Europe).Image:
What does sz 28 mean in women's pant sizes?
The hips flat across front are 18.5" (37" doubled), so I don't think it's "plus size", just "european" sizing, at least it's not normally how I see it in the retail stores.
On baby clothes what does size 2T mean?
Size 2T is 2 toddler. Toddler clothes are slightly smaller than the same size without the "T" (children's size). In addition, pants are cut with room for a diaper; T-shirts often have a snap or overlap shoulder to make it easier to get over the head. A toddler size also frequently cost less than the same children's size. Likewise, 24 months is a baby's size; slightly smaller and probably cheaper than the toddler size. In general, a child wears the next size larger than their actual age. A child small for her/his age may wear the "right" size, while a large child may wear 2-3 sizes larger.
If you wear a 34C, what size do you need (S, M, or L)?
I suppose it depends on where you buy the item from... Certain stores are larger made or smaller made than others. I worked in a lingerie store for 5 years and would probably advice a medium, smaller would be for sizes 28-32/34 AA-C but medium would also fit 34-36 C/D and large 38+ DD/E. F+G would be too big a cup size to fit a large. My advice would be check the sizing guide and measure yourself to get the best fit.

How the toe box is shaped may affect your choice too.
