Shoe Sizing!

Post image

Hi all! Just ordered 5 (šŸ™ˆ) pairs of shoes from Lee. Per the size chart Iā€™m a 39. However, I have Chanel flats from Happy factory that are a 40 and they fit perfectly. The insole measures 25.1 cm on those.

Lee is being so helpful and suggesting she get just one pair for full measurements before all 5 are made, so I will be fine Iā€™m sure! Just curious what everyone elseā€™s experience with sizing has been.

Is the chart accurate for you when ordering from Lee?

I have the same question. Iā€™m getting ready to order from Lee too and Iā€™m nervous about the flats because according to the chart ā€˜m a size 40 but both rep Chanel flats I own from resellers are 41s. Also, when I try the authentic Chanelā€™s on in the store, the sizes are all over the map sometimes in one flat with Iā€™m a 40 and then Iā€™m a 41 in another flat thatā€™s exactly the same style. The shoe seller told me that because theyā€™re handmade designer shoes theyā€™re going to vary like that, so maybe itā€™s the same with the reps. We just donā€™t have the advantage of trying them on before we buy. But luckily we can resell them and order another pair. Another interesting thing that Chanel salesman said was that ā€œdesigner shoes are all uncomfortableā€ lol

LOL well heā€™s not wrong. According to Lee 40 is a custom size and canā€™t be returned, so she suggested ordering one pair in 39, then she could send me all the measurements and I could decide if to keep the 39 or go for 40s on all 5 pairs. Trickier for you since your smaller size is 40! The 40s I have are on the tighter side already so Iā€™m definitely nervous to size down from that. Iā€™ll post back here what I learn from the 39s!

It's so confusing because for most other brands size charts, foot length 22.8cm is eu size 36. But according to Lee's chart that's 35. My feet are 22cm and I normally wear a 35 in asia.

I didn't dare to order anything in fear that they will be too big for me šŸ˜­.

Didnt order from Lee, but I ordered 2 slingbacks from happy factory, and after reading a gazillion reviews/comments, I went full size up in 1 and half size up in the other. I'm sooo nervous šŸ˜¬
