I was surprised recently when browsing on Amazon (I rarely buy clothing/shoes there, but I did a few times).

I chose my usual size, but Amazon told me "nope we think you want one size smaller, based on your history and our data for this product".



I’m curious to know if that was an accurate assessment by Amazon and if you were (or would have been?) satisfied with the purchase of their suggestion.


I have gone to the manufacturer's sites (I tend to avoid Amazon for purchases over about $50, because fraud).

They usually have something like "If you are a 10.5 for Adiddas, then you are a 10 for us" kind of thing.

Those have worked for me.
