Why did kswiss put 4 countries ( england,usa,austria,and france) on some of their shoes?

I think you mean Australia, not Austria. If that is the case it's because these 4 countries hold the 4 tournaments that make up the Grand Slam of Tennis:\n\nEngland - Wimbledon\nUS - US Open\nFrance - French Open\nAustralia - Australian Open

I too would love to know the answer (even though I'm english, USA is probably our closest neighbour in terms of culture).\n\nThe US put up a gutsy performance against Germany (& I personally feel that the german goal should have been dis-allowed because of the hand-ball).\n\nYou have your work cut out in this years starting group. And even though I want England to win, I wish the US all the best. Given that the US stands out as one of the most patriotic nations, it seems starange that so few are prepared to stand behind their national team as they are on the verge of making a name for themselves in soccer.\n\nOnce again, best of luck for the tournament!\n\nEDIT: Any US team fans - I make cut vinyl decals & if you'd like one of your team logo to go in your car/truck, I'd be happy to cut one. The link is a sample of my work.

Um, you answer people to get points. That's the whole point of Yahoo! Answers. Also, isn't a bit of a generalization to say that all polish people have a lot of sense (very poor answer)? \n\nThey don't have Vogue in Poland, but they have their own editions in France and Italy, respectively.

Too many countries to list.  Go to http://www.cadburyschweppes.com/EN/AboutUs/CompanyOverview/OrganisationStructure/  and click on the continent you're interested in to see the list of countries.

Unlike the US, where every product needs a tag indicating where it's made, most products in China don't have tags. If they did, they wouldn't be made in the US for sure. The US don't even make their own stuff. It's interesting because there's Nike and Puma gear in China, but the styles are completely different. I buy shirts in the US and go back to China, and they have the exact same shirt. Chinese people like different styles and require different sizes because they are so tiny.

My guess is that some countries are administratively part of a larger unit. \n\nI'll give you the example I'm familiar with: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are all individual members of FIFA, however, they are all part of the United Kingdom and that is the body which has UN membership.\n\nI don't know which other countries this would apply to.

It defines the width of the shoe. A is very narrow, B is medium narrow, C is not as narrow as B,  D is considered to be average width, E is wide, EEE is very very wide.  At one time many years ago when shoes were made in the USA almost all shoes could be purchased in all widths. Now that they most are imported from China, you can buy them in one width--D.  That is tuff on people that have narrow or wide feet. But who cares except the people with narrow or wide feet and to hell with them. The shoe people would probably like to make them all in one length also but that would be a little tougher sell, since there is no way to get a size 12 foot into a size 10 shoe, though I understand that some people with large feet sometimes try. \n\nThere are a few shoe companies that still sell shoes in different widths.  One that comes to mind is SAS, where I buy my shoes. Another is Red Wing, where I buy my hiking boots. Both brands are manufactured in the USA. The Chinese can sell their crap to someone else.

England....they predate the metric system, for example a "foot" is roughly the length of an adult male's foot.\nNot sure why we don't use the metric system.  There was a big push to switch when I was in elementary school, but it never happened.

Do not trust that you can just add a "3" in front of it.  I wear a size US 8, and I have never fit into a pair of Eur 38 in my life!  An 8 is at least a 38.5 if not a 39.

Because United Kingdom, as its name implies, is a unified group of nations.... Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales.  Just as "Russia" is really a collection of several republics and the US is a collection of states.\nEngland is only one of these (but the most powerful).

If you are talking about the United Kingdom it is German Russian and French.
