what would you say the Eur shoe size is for a UK size 6?

[JackandDiane]

PLease?

Ebay mis sell

39/40 depending on the company... New Look's sizing is really weird, a size 9 is 43 (so it's really a 10).

Yes, DS2 is right in that zone too MrsHathaway

The 2 systems don't correlate exactly, and there are variations between manufacturers too.

I'm a UK 8 or 42. 8 is not 41, no
Matter what shoe shops think. But I'm a 41 in Birkenstock and Duo and 43 or bigger in Shimano cycling shoes.

unicow how did your feet size increase after kids?

I have never heard of this. For me, my hips and waist increased unfortunately. I would have preferred but bigger shoes instead :-)

39. Always. I'm always a 39.

Feet size can increase because your ligaments slacken off a bit and sometimes never recover.

My feet stayed the same after dd1 but are slightly bigger since I had dd2.

On boden. Where the shoes are from it says 39-6

Do j bother saying anything to eBay seller?

My feet got bigger after DC too.

If the seller has listed the brand and the size on the shoes correctly, I'd leave it. although I did once refund a buyer because a BNWT gap hoody which said "age 12" did not fit her 12 year old, who she later admitted usually wore adult clothes

It's tricky, because there's not a size for size equivalence between the two, and the distance between each size is different for each sizing structure, too.
As far as I'm aware, 39 is best fit for a 6

I prefer European, because I am a 7.5 which is bang on 41, so that's what I always order. I can rarely buy a British 7.5 as most places don't do them and then I have to try a 7 and an 8 to see which fits best.

I'm the same as Paranoid and AdjustableWench.

There seems to be a lot more consistency with European sizes and a 41 is almost always the right size for me. However in UK sizes I am usually a 7 but only if it is marked as a 41 or perhaps a 40.5, which some shops use as the conversion.

I won't usually buy a 7 without checking what European size it is marked as, because some shops sell a 40 as a 7, which is almost always too small.

I find it useful that M&S sell half sizes and 7.5/41 is what I normally get from there.

M&S sizings can be weird though. I am usually OK with a UK 6 or a Eur 39, I have a pair of heels from M&S that fit well and are marked UK 3.5.

Can anyone help with the eBay issue

What exactly is the eBay issue?... I don't think you really said!

Did the seller list the shoes accurately? Did they list with the size from the marking on the shoe? Did they translate the marked size to the corresponding UK or Euro size? I'm not sure if Ebay automatically does the size translation when you list shoes or not?

Was a private seller or a business seller? With a business seller you have the right to return for any reason (distance selling regs).

they were listed as a 6
are actually a 38

Im a size 7 and european labels on my shoes say 40

I would say 38 is a 5, 39 is 5.5, 40 is 6.

Really I buy 39's as its hard to get 5.5

38 is generally equivalent to a UK 5, so you should have a case for them being misdescribed.

Do you want to return them?

I always thought 39..but yes my Supaga's say a 6 is 39.5
