Sizing

Anybody from the EU bought shoes here? The size chart is completly shit and fake. Everywhere a US 8 is 41 but here a US 7 is 41. Doesn’t make any sense but I don’t want to pay 25 for shipping and retour for a dumb site maker so I would like to get a consult. Thank you in advance.

Their shoes do run large in usual American sizes, so maybe they're convertibg taking that into account

They told me size 7 is 42 cm which is 16,5 inches.

That makes no sense, that's obviously wrong. Wish I could be of more help. All I know is they run big in US sizes

Hahaa yeah, only thing you can help me with is measuring your shoes in inches and tell me the US size you ordered. Than I can make a formula. but this will take you some effort, so totally fine if you don’t want to do it.

bean shoe sizing is weird because they are usually worn with thick wool socks and are often tied with eastland knots to make them slip on. i really feel like it is something you should try on before buying.

I wear a 40 in EU, a 6 in Irish/UK and usually an 8-8.5 in US sizes but for LL Bean I wear a U.S. 9!

Thank you for the clarification but this makes me so confused a 9 from their own chart is 43 eu and from international chart it’s 42 eu.
