raccoon Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 This may seem like a silly question, but I'll ask it anyhow. In a shoe store in Amsterdam, I had an argument with another customer on what UK size mark 7- (seven dash) means. He claimed it is 7½ but I don't believe that. 7 makes more sense to me. Who is right? Will someone elaborate please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris100575 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I can't speak for the Netherlands, but in the UK a size seven and a half is marked "7 1/2". If I ever saw "7-" I'd assume that it was a seven. Most stores don't seem to stock half sizes anyway, which is a pity as I'm a seven and a half!

Firefox Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I'm a 7 1/2 too. I've never seen 7- before. I would assume it's a 7, but really it doesn't matter. Try it on and if the shoe fits, wear it , as they say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raccoon Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I haven't seen any footwear with UK size marks in that store or any shop in the Netherlands. This guy wore a pair, they were his own. Anyway, it's his size. Maybe it's mine too, or I'm an 8 or an 8½. I agree trying on is always decisive.
