Part of a former job description was to prevision chemical defense boots for the Marine Corps. I had to make sure, for any given size deployment that there would be enough L, M and S for the number of troops being deployed.
We had to overprovision by a certain amount in each size since Marines do no obligingly fit a normal distribution curve perfectly. There will be variations. It was an exercise in statistics.
So when Marines checked in for their gas masks we also asked them their shoe size.
The most common male adult size: 10.5 the most common female adult size: 8.5.
For some reason Marines on the west coast have smaller feet than Marines elsewhere.
