Sneaker Mix-up

Betsy, Liz, Mark, Shari, and Wyman were in the league tournament on a rainy October day. They left their dry sneakers on the sidelines to put on after the game. Since the sneakers were all dirty-white, and they had the same company logo, telling them apart was a bit tricky. The only difference was in the size. The pile of sneakers had one pair each of sizes 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

  • Betsy knew hers were the smallest.
  • Liz said hers were larger than Shari's but smaller than Mark's.
  • Wyman said his were probably the largest.
Who owns which pair of sneakers?
