Generally i have found from Barratts, Boots usally slightly big for their size Ballets true to slightly big Mid Heels True to size High Heels slightly small to very small (at least a full size and some 2 sizes) Platform heels true to slightly small I take a 10 or 11 (9 in mens) I have over 30 pairs from barratts bought over a 3 year period mainly in the last 18months. I love the styles if only the could have consistant sizing

Loads of close ups of the shoes she has been wearing on her tour of Canada.

I'm going to take a chance on getting these in an 11 (the third link), as they sold out of that size and have just got some back in. The toe is a bit more rounded than the pointed toe ones i bought before so hopefully they will fit.

I totally love these.....

Such a shame that they don't do sizes smaller than 8 for girls.

They Do!!!!

I have been buying quite a lot of heels from this company and lately I have been noticing that quite of their nice fashionable heels lately are getting smaller....

Take a look at the three models of shoes I have given links for and the resounding consensus that comes up in the comments / reviews are that they are very small fitting in some cases percieved 2 or 3 sizes smaller than stated.

http://www.bigshoeboutique.co.uk/en/sherbert-high-heel-pointed-court-shoe-195021 I bought these

Going back 6 months ago this was personally never the case. I am a 9/10 UK and used to buy a size 10UK which fitted comfortably. I bought one pair of heels in a UK11 thinking i would have covered bases sizing wise, so was very suprised when i found they were extremely tight and could just get my foot in them.

Has anyone else who has bought heels from them lately found the same problem?

Hey All,

many of you know of my fondness for the heels at Bakers' stores and have engaged both managers and customer service staff at their headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri to encourage the offering of more shoes in size 11 in the stores and to consider selling size 12. Last year I spotted the "VICTORIA", a very hot selling pump with a 5.7" stiletto heel in size 12 but only in red. This year's version is the "MELINA" with a lower 5.25" stiletto heel but also popular. Of the 10 color variations offered 9 of them are offered in size 12, albeit all but two are out of stock. This means they sold out of them. The two they have in stock at this writing are the black suede and black patent.

This is great news for turning the tide and for our size-12 shoe wearers looking for the perfect shoe. By the way, I have made it quite clear that their managers have told me more men than ever are buying heels in their stores. Send stores your feedback because it does work.

Red and Taupe are available in Sz12 too!!!

Veeeeeeeeery Nice!! I hope someone can help you out...like them.

True barney the thought did cross my mind! maybe someone in the states wants something from the uk...a favour for a favour maybe.thanks for the lnks though will check them out!

Nothing to lose by asking mate. I have asked in the past and came up trumps. People on here are pretty good for helping people out when a call for help goes out.

Good Luck!!!

BTW what sort of shoes are you after on Zappos????

not cheap though would want to have shoes pretty bad IMO ...might be better off asking a kind HHP forum member based in the US to help.

I have used a similar service in the past but most of my US shoes have been bought from US ebay sellers that i struck a relationship with and got them to buy on my behalf for a small fee for their trouble.

Found a photo of Kate's shoes on the Daily Mail web Site.

Seems she has fairly small feet for her height of 5ft 10in (EU 39 or Size 6 UK).

If you like.

Did you notice that the seam on the forepart is much lower down on the Net A Porter ones? Take a look at your 4th picture if you don't believe me. Also, you will notice that the stitching is much finer on the NAP ones too. I dunno, it could just be the photograph.

I noticed this too, also count the number of vertical sections running down the toe, there are 5 on the net a porter ones and 6 on the other ones, now THIS may be down to size, so the first ones would have to be quite a bit smaller than the size 40's of the ebay ones and i couldnt see a size in the picture supplied. Not disputing they are genuine but an observation based on what Dr Shoe said.

These boots are made by a Canadian company called Bootmaster.

Nice boots but way above my price range...anyone have anyone have any experience of this company???

Numerous occasions where i have been having a clearout and put heels on ebay for sale and then wish i hadn't as there wasn't a cats hells chance i would ever find another pair like them again. Case in point a pair of leopard print 4.5in heel ankle boots in a size uk10...you ain't going to find them soon in a mainstream retail store. Did get a very good price for them though.

There's a special name for that style of platform...and I've just forgotten it as I'm typing.....drat..!!

doubled up platform sole?

http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/size-7/item10082717.aspx

looks really unstable, what do you think??

its called a doubled up platform sole

I stumbled across this picture here but cannot for the life of me find out which brand they are. Normally I have very good google fu, but this time it failed me.

Can anyone here help me out?

Thanks and regards,

Asenath

I found this on a prince forum.....

http://prince.org/msg/7/284701

It shows various colour options of boots made for the Artist by a designer called Andre. I wouldn't mind a few pairs of these myself!!!!

Azerbaijan won..she's wearing 4 inch crystal single sole sandles, nice but not the best, fairly standard fare. BTW the singers live in London!!! Where the hell is the place..somewhere out in former Russia isnt it????

Lots of High Heel spotting opportunities tonight. The vast majority of them are platform soled shoes so ultra high heels (5 inches +), some very nice boots, the ukraine entry having black boots with a metal coloured platform sole and over 5in heel and also the Georgian entry with a nice knee length boot with 5in chunky heel. Lots of nice shoes too, the Spanish entry having Lilac metallic platform sole pumps. Anyone else in europe been watching and noted any other nice heels???

Flip Flop Boots, Mary Jane boots and sandals with integrated socks.

All damn ugly...whatever next:-?

I'm not into feet as such (strictly heels) but found this site to illustrate that i think her shoe size is bigger than than a 3/4.

Taking into account her height the size of her feet look bigger than a 3 or 4.

Also check out the main photo in this article.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1290955/Sophie-Raworth--Trinny-Susannah-taught-adventurous-clothes.html

It could very well be wrong but this site says Sophie is 5ft 9in and from what i have seen of her in the past she is quite tall so i would think it unlikely she is a UK3 / 4, probably nearer a UK6 or 7.

Kate's wedding shoes were made by Alexander McQueen.

The link is of a similar pair

Like those, same style of shoes you normally see her in(obviously not in white lace though!!).

Anybody have any idea what shoe size she is - at 5ft 10in i would think a UK7 or UK8 at a push. THe black wedge shoes she's been wearing the last few days look big so i reckon the sizes i've given above are plausable.

Victoria always comes up with the goods, fantastic shoes.
