I agree on the 11s. I really need a 12, but end up often buying an 11. I guess it's not a real bad problem, as I typically can only wear my heels for a short period of time. I do have to say that wearing a shoe that is a bit too small for you really does highlight the difference in sizing among shoe makers and styles. There have been some 11s that I can slip on no problem, and others I can't stand to wear for more than a few minutes. Even among the same shoe brands. I was in a Bandolino store and tried on three pairs of similar style size 11 shoes. Two were quite snug, but the third was very comfortable. I have also owned a few Nine West shoes in size 11, and while tight, they've been doable. I was in an outlet and found a great pair in size 12. I thought eureka, and pair that I can wear comfortably! I bought them without trying them on (dummy) and excitedly went to my car to put them on and found that they were tighter than any of the size 11s I had ever had from them!
