Abstract: A computer-based system and method of universal sizing and selling of apparel is provided. A central computer has a database of universal size indicators for articles of apparel, each corresponding to a range of physical measurements. The central computer receives from at least one remote computer at least one physical measurement corresponding to a consumer and provides to the consumer at least one of the universal size indicators corresponding to the received physical measurement. At least one consumer profile includes the universal size indicators corresponding to the physical measurements of the consumer. The consumer profile is shareable with others. Software is loadable onto the remote computer and is adapted to measure a person's foot placed upon a touch screen of the remote computer. The universal size indicators do not vary amongst different brands of the articles of apparel and include at least one of a character or a shape.
