shoe size

[user125]

Hi My wife has a 39-40 European size (sometimes 39, sometimes 40 depends on the shoe), and I bought her over the internet some pair of Ellie 4.5 inch high heels, size 9 American. These are almost good in size, maybe a little bit smaller than her foot. That's why I'm thinking when ordering a 5 inch heel, to order a size 10 from Ellie shoes. My question is, how the sandals/"slip ons" from Pleaser and Tony's shoes, compare to Ellie shoes ? They are smaller , larger, the same ? I wanted to place this question in the women section since it's aimed at women in particular..but not sure if I'm allowed, that's why I placed it here. thanks

I think Pleaser runs just a slight touch smaller than Ellie, but that's just from my own experience.

Thanks ShockQueen Anyone else have an opinion ? What about Tony shoes compared to Ellie ?

[admirer5577]

Pleaser runs slightly smaller than Ellies in my opinion too. But what I find worse is that different models within Pleaser's range are very diiferent in sizes. Pumps in 14 fits me great, boots seem to a bit bigger but that doesn't matter that much because you don't "loose" a boot even if it is slightly big, and you can put a sole inside for better comfort. But I have some models from them too that are very much smaller so the best is to try therm before buying if you have that possibility.

Pleaser runs a little smaller when it comes to sandals and slip-ons I think.

thanks for all the answers. Regarding "tony shoes", for anyone who's interested, the online store representative told me that tony's are a little larger than Ellie.

Be careful - adding a Size to accomodate width also adds to the length - and they may end up too long.

[user125]

yes, but when I was speaking of "larger" I was thinking about the length mainly.

I have both Pleasers and Ellies in size 11 with 5-inch heels and each is on the tight side. They're broken in now and fit fine, but it took some stretching before they fit comfortably. It's one of those instances where an 11.5 would be just right, but they don't have half sizes in that size range.

Ancient proverb say it is bad luck to buy shoe without first trying on.
