US into UK size's A little help please

[Hiline]

Hi all i just wanted to double check i have this right. I've seen some really really nice wedge/platfrom trainers on ebay. The ad says they only go upto a US8 i'm working that out to be around a 6/6 1/2 in the US sizes if thats right i'd be spending £50+ on shoes that i would not have a chance of fitting into as i take a UK7/7.5 in heels. Am i right please? Thanx all Hiline

I think your right on that one Hiline looking at the chart a US womens 9 1/2 would be a a UK mens 7 1/2 hope that helps

[sharpLeather]

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are one of those sizes a US size, that you've written as a UK size?

[Hiline]

Sorry its been an 11+hour heavy day i ment to say US8 in UK sizes. Doh

Hiline :-)

You may want to take a look at the chart below...

I see where you're at. UK size 8 womens - USA size 10.5 womens, according to this chart:

Having said that, personal experience has found that this isn't always the case. Certainly shapes and variations do vary between manufacturers.

Oh whoops. Looks like Daniel got in there before me!

Thank you all that helped me out there. It looks like i was right the 1st time and the platform trainers i want so badly wont fit me . If they came from here ( UK ) and didnt cost so much with the shipping i'd take a chance but i just dont think its worth it. Oh well i'll just keep looking. Once again thanx all

Put a picture up of them and we might be able to find them in your size on the net, will need to go in the wanted forum though. Lots of clever people on here good at locating various styles forum members are after.

I don't suppose you'd mind putting the link up for us to have a peek? Or the item number on ebay at the very least.

[Hiline]

Np I think these have been on here before. It might have been seeing themon here that made me start looking.

Oh I see now! Oh yes, they are really really nice.

[danielp6406]

I second that: They are really nice indeed :-)

The shoes you are looking for are shipped from Korea, so i would imagine a size 8US is a large size for them as i would imagine a lot of Korean women take small sizes.

The closest i could come to anything remotely like you want in your size are:

And thats only slightly like what you are looking for. I think you may struggle to find the exact model you want in your size unfortunately.

And these but only because they have a wedge heel:
