mingo Posted January 29, 2002 Posted January 29, 2002 It depends on the kind of shoe I wear. Sandals are OK in 41 euro-size. My five-inch pumps with pointed toe are UK and they fit tight, but I like it that way.
Van Posted January 30, 2002 Posted January 30, 2002 Hi Guys, Second posting today, wow, i'm getting used to this board faster than I thought... I'm size 43. 9/10 UK. Forgot how much in US. Limited choice but as I travel a lot I manage to find interesting shoes ... Long ago I discovered that African , afro american, afro/caribbean (and dutch) ladies tend to have larger feet. I usually check shoe shop in "black" areas when in Amsterdam, London, NY, Toronto or Jo'Burg ... Have fun ! Vanessa
hhbites Posted January 31, 2002 Posted January 31, 2002 I'm 42 euro size but can wear 41 on sandals or open toe.
Robert Posted January 31, 2002 Posted January 31, 2002 Hi Vanessa, can you tell me please what shops are in the "black" area of Amsterdam and where? Thanks in advance. Boots, fascinating footwear http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i103/Boots_1956/
hoverfly Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 I find that no mater what is your women’s shoe size. It's going to vary at least 3 sizes. There several reasons why. Brand name is one. Height of the heel. Style of shoe, pumps versus boots. Then there is the style of the toe box, pointed or square. If I wear heels with a square toe box it's 11 or 12 U.S. If I can, they will be in the wide width, but if I can't get it in a wide width then I need a size 13 U.S. Hello,  my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee!  👠1998 to 2022!
Firefox Posted February 3, 2002 Author Posted February 3, 2002 I agree with that. I've worn anything from a 39 to a 42 but roughly 2/3 of my shoes are 40 and 1/3 41.
Electroman Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 based on the Payless sizing scheme, Size 11W or 12 Boots 12 shoes only 9.5-10.5 sandals.
hoverfly Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 Payless is where I get most of my shoes. But I have also been able to find boots and shoes at Wallmart as well. As for thir sizes 11 or 12 U.S. will fit me fine. Hello,  my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee!  👠1998 to 2022!
Tacchi Alti Posted February 8, 2002 Posted February 8, 2002 Size 8 UK, 41/42 Eur, depending on fit. I expect most find, like me, that sandals are better one size smaller to stop the back projecting beyond the top of the heel. 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.' John Milton
Mo-chan Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 In most cases, I can squeeze into a 12. but sometimes 12 is too small and I have to go to either a 13 or a 14. _____ Click my invisble banner-right here Hehe:D
terayon Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 i wear a size 11mens shoe, but can fit into size 10 sometimes
Dexter23 Posted June 1, 2002 Posted June 1, 2002 I usualy am a size 42/43 depends on the model. But I have had a pair size 41 that fit well. The problem here is that most shos go to a size 41 so ususlly they just don't fit.
AnkleBootBoy Posted June 2, 2002 Posted June 2, 2002 I have size 45 Euro and am completely happy with the brand Via Vai. Is there a website of them ?
shyguy Posted June 2, 2002 Posted June 2, 2002 I'm a size 8UK but can usually wear my wifes size 7's without too much discomfort. She even has a size 6 boot which fits me and is very comfortable. Sizes seem very vague wouldn't you say He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
JeffB Posted June 2, 2002 Posted June 2, 2002 Well, I wear a 13 wide (or 46 Euro) for most everything. In a pinch, I can get by with a 12 wide or double wide, but for maximum comfort, especially since I'm in heels eight hours a day at the office, I insist on 13 which ain't easy to find, believe me! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
loveheel Posted June 2, 2002 Posted June 2, 2002 Women's size 11 or 10W (US). EUro 42. Just on the edge of finding shoes in regular stores.
Van Posted June 3, 2002 Posted June 3, 2002 Has anybody tried to compile statistics from this tread ? Could be interesting. Vanessa
alfheel Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 size 44 euro, 12 US women generally fits, if the heel is 5" or lower.
Nikk Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 EU 42, UK 8 or sometimes 7, US women's 9 1/2 upwards depending on the style & the store ... I've had a lot more problems with US size variations than in the UK or Europe; anyone else had this ?
mk4625 Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 US men's 10EE US women's 12WW (12W and 13M also work) EU 44-45 Michael
texasbumpkin Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 US women's 8 1/2 - 9....depends on the style of the shoe
Heelfan Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 I'm UK Men's 9.5 (ish) = UK Women's 10.5 = European 44 = US 11/12 (?) and I'm very, very, very, very, very envious of guys with smaller feet who can swan into any ladies shoe shop and have the pick of the entire store. Occasionally I can find a sexy style in the 'large ladies sizes' from Barratts, Brantano, Evans, Tallgirls etc., but the vast majority of these large sizes are frumpy, and it's SO frustrating that whenever I get momentarily excited in some of the shops upon seeing a FANTASTIC style, it always seem to be made in sizes only up to about a 7 or 8. I often end up spending a fortune getting shoes or boots made to my own design by custom-makers such as The Little Shoe Box, London. Cheers, Heesfan Onwards and upwards!
jo Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 I usually wear a UK size 6.5 (or 7 for some) and that is the same as European size 39.5 (but size 40 is good enough).
JCinHeels Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 i wear an 11 or a 12 depending on the style. i find i can find my size fairly easily, just cant find the styles id like as often as id like the fastest way to this man's heart is with nice legs in high heels
stellah Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 I'm UK Men's 9.5 (ish) = UK Women's 10.5 = European 44 = US 11/12 (?) and I'm very, very, very, very, very envious of guys with smaller feet who can swan into any ladies shoe shop and have the pick of the entire store. I know what you mean. Just three sizes down would be my dream - almost anything is available up to size 41 here... I'm not into the fetishwear so much. _______________ HH forever!
Alex Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 15 US mens 16(I can squeeze into a 14) in US women's which is 48-49 EUm I think I wish I was a size 10
micha Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I'm 1.90 m (~ 6' 4'') tall and my EU size is 44/45 (UK female 11, US female 13/male 11). Just having read the foot size of Alex I have become reconciled with my own size. No chance for me in normal shoe stores in the shopping mall but I have sometimes a real chance to find nice shoes in the net. At least I don't need extremely expensive craftsmen work. micha The best fashion is your own fashion!

Lee Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I'm 5' 10" tall and wear US mens 10.5. In womens's sizes I'm an 11 or 12 depending on the cut. In pumps, 11 seems to fit better, in platforms - 12 seems to the right size.
heellovr79 Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I wear a size 13 womens, sometimes a 14. It depends on the shoe. Black patent, open toed high heels are the best!
