Shoe sizes can vary by brand, kind of like womens clothing does.  In 
one brand of shoe, a 1 would be an 0 in another brand, or a 2 in 
another.  Especially with some of the non metal shoes, they are 
definitely not all sized the same.

One of the questions I asked on the Decade Interviews was what size 
easyboot, as that tends to go more by actual size of the hoof.  I 
knew if I asked for actual measurements I probably wouldn't get them ;).

Most endurance horses take a 1 in an easyboot, or 0.  Not very many 
take size 2.  It's weird, Weaver always takes 2's on the fronts, and 
Chief did when he was shod.  Now barefoot he can fit a 1 in the new 
style boot, a 2 does fit and stays on but the 1's are a snugger 
fit.  The width between the two horses front feet is really close - I 
think between 5 1/4" to 5 1/2".
