Hiline Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallinheels Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpLeather Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are one of those sizes a US size, that you've written as a UK size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielp6406 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hiline :-) You may want to take a look at the chart below... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpLeather Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I see where you're at. UK size 8 womens - USA size 10.5 womens, according to this chart: http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html Having said that, personal experience has found that this isn't always the case. Certainly shapes and variations do vary between manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpLeather Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Oh whoops. Looks like Daniel got in there before me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiline Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i right please? Thanx all Hiline 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. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!!

sharpLeather Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiline Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Np I think these have been on here before. It might have been seeing themon here that made me start looking. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Womens-Shoes-Multi-Trainer-Sneakers-Platform-Wedge-heel-/280442549627?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item870ac2bf3b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney15c Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 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: http://cgi.ebay.com/Skechers-Womens-Lights-Fire-Sneakers-Sz-9-/220638514165?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes 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: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WOMENS-WEDGE-BLACK-TRAINERS-ANKLE-SHOES-BOOTS-SIZE-8-41-/170523371395?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Women_s_Shoes&hash=item27b3fc2783 In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!!
