I bought two pairs of jeans the other day, both exactly the same size, both the same style, but just different colors. The blank ones fit, the blue ones do not fit, explain that.

I’ve experienced the same issue, not just with the waist but also the inseam!

G-Star jeans are notorious for this; same style (eg. 5620s), same fit (eg. Skinny), different colours but different colours: I can fit in the 33, and 32, but the 34 is too small currently (I put in a few kg).

Shoes really piss me off. I can wear wear anything from a size 11 to a 14 depending on the year, month, day, and hour of the day. I tried to buy a pair of slippers last winter. I tried on a pair clearly labeled 'Size 14' at the insistence of my Wife. I couldn't get them even half ways on my foot........

The explanation I have always received in the store for this, is that some shoes have stretchier material than others and it's up to the manufacturer whether they consider the shoe size to be the material unstretched or stretched. Seems like a daft allowance but there you go.

What's the point in a non-standardized standard?
