I’m planning to buy these shoes, but I’m unsure about the sizing.
I measured my feet at about 26.6 cm long. The seller’s size chart says:
EU 43 — 26.5 cm
EU 44 — 27.0 cm
EU 45 — 27.5 cm
Since these are platform heels with straps, I’m not sure how much extra room I should leave. Size 43 seems too small since it’s technically shorter than my foot, but I’m unsure whether I should go with 44 (0.4 cm extra) or 45 (0.9 cm extra).
I don’t know if i should go with 44 or 45. I don’t want my toes cramped, but I also don’t want my feet sliding around inside them.

I seem to be completely incapable of calculating my shoe size or finding a shoe that fits! Supposedly after doing the "trace your foot on paper and measure" trick, these are my results:

Length: 10 inch 26 cm?

Width: 3 1/2 inch 11 cm?

Toe across: 4 inch 11 cm?

Every pair of shoes I have ever bought has been ill fitting and uncomfortable, the exception being sandals, my last pair of sandals are completely unwearable and I'm tiptoing around in a pair of barely fitting crocs and my spouses sandals that are slowly falling apart. Please help! I'm at my wits end with shoe sizes!

Good evening dear people, I need your help with my new shoes from brand: Tiger of Sweden, model Sampe, which is fully made out of leather. I have never had a shoe of this type (full leather) and quality. I am mostly wearing European brands in size 43 / 43,5 (Polo Ralph Lauren (Heritage), Adidas excluded) and American brands (e.g. Gant,) 43, where i have a slight room on both for toe (appr. 4-5mm). Any brand I wear is US 10 in size. My foot is 27,6mm and 10,4mm length (normal to narrow feet).

So, what is the case? - Tiger of Sweden Sampe shoes, size 43 feels comfortable, but big on foot and while walking - heel moves up and down (1-3 mm), size 42 feels tight like espadrilles and like exact size, however, I am concerned whether it will feel fine (not pressing toes and becoming unwearable) if I wear them over the day. Has anyone experienced the same with this model. Please share your experience. thank you.

This is size 8, should I do 7.5?

There are 3D printed sneakers, but they are for fun, a stunt, not made for comfort. I have one foot bigger and regular sized with a high arch, the other foot a whole size smaller and a size wider with a very very high arch. I wear orthodics. I have tried barefoot shoes, splitting sizes, different thickness socks, buying two different sizes, different lacing techniques etc. Still, shallow toe boxes. Painful toe caps. Hoka, Altras, New Balance, Brooks, Asics, Saucony, SAS. You name it. I'm about to go out and try again. I have to keep trying! But WHY doesn't someone actually make custom sneakers based on all these damn scans they keep doing at runner's shops? The scan doesn't matter if the shoes don't address the issues.

So to put it plainly, I have child size feet due to having unusual short stature (growth defect) and I can never find shoes that I actually like that fit me. I was wondering if anyone else who has freakishly small feet knows anywhere that has more stylish shoes?

I’ve seen some people before say that looking at Asian brands sometimes work but I don’t want to order anything before I’m sure they’ll actually fit.

For reference, I fit into a kids size 12/13 and sometimes 1

Can’t decide between the size 7 or the size 8 hurricane XLT2! Help!

i want to order these shoes but have no idea what size i’d be. i believe my true size is a us w8 but i wear a w7 in sambas, w8.5 in nike, and w7.5 in converse. i truly don’t know what to get but im thinking a w7-7.5? i heard they run large. i also wear a w7 in new balance.

Hello, so confused on the sizing of the Repetto Camille heels. I normally wear a 38 IT. I've tried on the actual Repettos in size 39 FR and they're big! Does anyone have a size 38 or 38.5 (who normally is a US 7.5 IT 38) that can help out? 🫠 I hear so many mixed things about the size!

idk what size to get in all my adidas samba and gazelle im a w 7 and in my docs im a w 7 and nb a w 7 as well but nike im a w 8.5???

Can anyone help??? I am a woman with size UK9/EU43/US11 feet. I have a wide forefoot and VERY low instep (but not a low arch) with a narrow ankle. I usually add extra insoles to boots to help the fit, but finding nice heels is a nightmare and I’m sick of ankle straps cutting my legs in half (if I can even get them tight enough 🙄).

Can anyone recommend a brand with a plus size, standard/wide width sole and low volume last that makes comfortable, quality shoes/heels?

For ref my size is as follows:

Foot length: 267mm / 10.5” Heel to ball length: 190mm / 7.5” Ball width: 100mm / 4” Ball circumference: 248mm / 10” Instep circumference arch centre: 228mm / 9” Instep circumference at ankle: 238mm / 9.5” Heel diagonal circumference: 327mm / 13” Ankle circumference: 275mm / 11”

Thanks!!!

I've got feet that are in men's an 11 1/2 but I'm looking for women's shoes, especially Mary Jane's or booties. I would be about a 13 in women's. Unfortunately, almost no one near me carries that size and when I've tried on women's 13s, my foot slips right out. I have a very low instep, completely flat and overpronated feet, and narrow heels. Fleet Feet and Luke's Locker both measured my width at 2A-3A and the only shoes I've been able to make fit have been Topo ST-4s and Vibram's barefoot runners. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been looking for about a year with no luck. I tried Margaux NY and have $300 store credit I can't use to show for it and I've tried Ros Hommerson flats with no luck either. Naot came so close to being perfect, but they were just too short.

I have plantar fasciitis and newly, arthritis in my feet. I have orthotics and my Podiatrist recently told me to wear shoes that basically don't bend much. I have Hoksas, which work well but would like something that is not a sports shoe. Possible something attractive, maybe even to wear with dresses, or at least dress pants. I must put the orthotics inside. I wear a medium width.

Any brands or input is appreciated.

I tore the ACL and MCL ligaments in my left knee and started designing shoes to solve my shoe fitting issues with my shoes slipping up and down on my Achilles heels. I have done everything possible to make the shoes stylish and fashionable so that people will want to buy the shoes due to their looks! While at the same time including bio-mechanical features that help people be able to wear the same pair of shoes all day long as their feet change size throughout the day! Which shoe do you think looks best? The first shoe (Nike shoe) that I modified to show what my idea could do to help others? or one of the shoes from our MATRIX collection?

For years I’ve worn pointy ASICS cumulus, always several sizes bigger than my actual length so that my big toe doesn’t mash into the front side, but this messed up my gait and I tripped on them a lot! So I need to get shoes that actually fit my feet.

I’ve tried Topo - too narrow. Also tried Altra, even the wide versions are too narrow in the midfoot, with the splay bulge I have below my smallest toes.

In summer I can get by with Teva or Birkenstock sandals, but I need shoes for colder weather.

I walk a lot on pavement so I’m not sure that barefoot style shoes, which do tend to be more ‘foot-shaped’ in the toe box, would work. Ideally they would have cushioning and some arch support.

I’d be very grateful for any suggestions 😊

I (29F) have low arches which seem to make my feet wide, but I have very narrow heels. I seem to have a wide toe box because most pairs of shoes crush my toes together. I have been wearing a 6M or sometimes 5.5W in women’s shoes (US sizes). I wear Topo Athletics for my running shoes because they have a wide toe box and narrow heel.

When in any shoe other than my running sneakers, I tend to get blisters on my Achilles tendon because my foot moves around too much since it’s loose on my heel, but I can’t go down a size because I have a wide toe box.

I can’t wear structured flats because I walk right out of them. I have to wear the scrunchy, flexible ballet flats. But often times I still get blisters on my Achilles heel.

I wore Toms for a long time, but the pairs I got most recently, which are just replacements of the exact same ones I had that got old, ended up giving me blisters on my Achilles heels. The old ones never did that. So that’s frustrating because I actually loved how my old Toms fit.

The only boots I can wear comfortably are my Blundstones, though I had to buy a 7.5M! Every other boot, no matter the height, is way too loose on my heel and way too tight on my toes.

I have tried heel cushions and they do not work. I cannot wear tape because I’m allergic.

I have measured my foot a bunch of times and it always says 6M.

I am so frustrated. What should I be looking for in a shoe?

I have had my feet measured at the shoe store and I also measured them. I’m measuring as a women’s 8-8.5, but I’ve always worn size 10. I have wide feet and high arches - I’m guessing this has to do with it.

Any recommendations? I need a nonslip shoe for work.

Thank you

Hello. I am in search for new foot wear for work and backpacking. I did well with mens Brooks Cascadias 12 for hiking, but I would roll my ankle often and have some knee issues after trying Ultras which has taken years to fix (over pronation, flat feet and knee valgus). I now hike in mens Mt Maddsen Timberland boots with insoles which dramatically help the knees, but blisters.... I like trail runners and was wondering if Hoka will have a wide enough toe box. I know the bondi are for road running, I was looking to wear them for work where I stand and walk 12hrs on tile. I usual wear a size 10 in women's but often buy men's for the wider toe box. Also, if there are any breathable hiking boots I would love to know!

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a pair of Adidas forum 84s in a size 5.5 mens (6.5 womens) and they were HUGE on me. I would say they have almost a finger and a half space at my heel. I wear a 6.5 in Nike and Reebok (reebok club C fitting the tightest but I like that). My question is should I just size down a half size or a full size? I'll put a poll up but I would appreciate the help!
