DandyDude Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/24675679/c/325/g/women/s/21.html Anyone know how these fit? They have my length size, but not sure of the width. I have somewhat narrow feet for a man, I wore a man's A(women's at one point in my very early teens, but not sure now what my foot is. I actually want a snug fit, so I wouldn't worry if it is.

Dr. Shoe Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Wow they go up to 46! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
DandyDude Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 That's my size, I was wondering about the width. Zappos is good for bigger sizes that are not low-end. I doubt a regular boot bar that carried this style would have this size. Zappos pays return postage, but I'd rather not chance it if I don't have to.

Heelfan Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Well spotted! Very few Zappos have gone that large! Why not take a chance on the width. If you buy them by mail-order, I think you can return them or stretch them (see shoe modifications thread). Cheers, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
Danielinheels Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Zappos' return policy is VERY good. They'll pick up the tab on return shipping if needed. Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde
DandyDude Posted March 17, 2007 Author Posted March 17, 2007 I'll see. "To kiss, pretty Saki, thy shoes' pretty tips, is better than kissing another girl's lips." -Omar Khayyam
DandyDude Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 They have a similar style that only goes up to 44. Funny thing, it appears to be built on the same base, yet the sizes are not as high. Odd. For some reason, my browser won't copy the link to Luminani 70. "To kiss, pretty Saki, thy shoes' pretty tips, is better than kissing another girl's lips." -Omar Khayyam
ricky0306 Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I wear 9 1/2-10 mens and ordered 42 (11-11.5). They fit great with a thinner sock. I would have preferred a pointier toe.
DandyDude Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 Which style? "To kiss, pretty Saki, thy shoes' pretty tips, is better than kissing another girl's lips." -Omar Khayyam
ricky0306 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I have the 76 style. Also note the heel is higher than 3" for a size 10.
DandyDude Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 I take a women's 15, so I dare say it would be even higher. Is the leather Frye boot-type leather, or is it dress boot-type? "To kiss, pretty Saki, thy shoes' pretty tips, is better than kissing another girl's lips." -Omar Khayyam
DandyDude Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 Ricky, how do you deal with width issues? "To kiss, pretty Saki, thy shoes' pretty tips, is better than kissing another girl's lips." -Omar Khayyam
ricky0306 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Width is a tricky thing. Most styles have worked out OK for me but some have been simply unwearable. Yes, I have wasted some money with some suppliers but Zappos return policy is excellent.
