Simple File Stream

Hi, i am writing a program that will ask the user for their shoe size and brand they would like to purchase and store it in a file. it was working but all of a sudden it stopped functioning properly. anything wrong you guys see? It's not writing to the file correctly.

I don't understand why you made such a big code. Try this:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  ofstream size_out("Shoe.out" , ios::app); //ios::app is for appending the file(write at the end of the file)
  ofstream brand_out ("Shoe.out" , ios::app);

  string size_shoe;
  string brand;

  cout<<"Enter the size:"<<endl;
  cin>>size_shoe;
  cout<<"Enter the brand:"<<endl;
  cin>>brand;

  size_out<<"size:"<<size_shoe<<endl;
  brand_out<<"brand:"<<brand<<endl;

  size_out.close();
  brand_out.close();
  return 0;
}

But if you want to make it with your code i will tell you what is the mistake(maybe not the only one).
Firstly you use only if , but you should know that when there's already an if statement you must use else if
Secondly 
 stdafx.h
doesn't exist.

mine is longer because i wanted the input to be valid (no letters or symbols for shoe size)
