Startrite vs M+S - shoe sizing help!

[Lemoncroissant]

DS7 always wears M and S shoes. But they’ve inexplicably sold out of everything in his size this year! (Maybe we’ve left it a bit late 😬)

There are pricey Start-rite ones which I can push the boat out for - but which size? He’s a 12 in M and S - will he be a 12 in Start-rite ?

grateful for any feedback!

No one online can accurately tell you his shoe size. Go to a shoe shop, get him measured and shoes properly fitted.

In my experience, StartRite are about half a size smaller than Clark’s and M&S are a bit bigger. So I’d go up a whole size for StartRite ie:13.

Thank you, that’s helpful!
(no shoe shops left nearby sadly so have to order)
