Ugly Toes

I was complaining about vanity sizing the other day ... well, I am back from my weekend away and my favorite running shorts are in need of being washed. So I started digging through my running shorts drawer, and came across my high school racing shorts and noticed something. I bought my medium Nike running shorts back in 1994, and according to the tag a medium was the equivalent of a 10-12. A quick look at Nike.com reveals that medium is now 8-10, but the smalls that I'd probably buy are considered 4-6. I tried the shorts on, and they felt comfortable, not too baggy. Just interesting to me that I could comfortably wear 12 year old shorts labelled 10-12, yet can't buy shorts labelled 4-6 at Wal-Mart.
