i'm a five and i'm fine in a five. hth. i don't think you'd want them to be small tbh.

You need to order a size smaller, I couldn't keep the original boats shoes on my feet.

I am a size 7, and the lady in the shop said that I should go a size smaller. and they fit much better. The 7 was very floppy.

i wonder if it depends on the style, then? mine have toe posts.

I'm normally between a 5 and 5.5 in normal shoes and get 38 in Birkies.

Gobbledigook · 29/07/2008 22:47

Yes, buy a 5/38.

I'm a size 5 but I buy a 4/37 inthe Madrid (of which I have 5 pairs )

depends on the length of your toes!! If you have short stubby toes you might prefer a size smaller than your normal size - but if you have normal or long toes go for the same as your normal size!

I am a 40 but I wear 39 in berkies and can even wear my daughter's 38s now that she has worn them in!

hana · 29/07/2008 22:56

don't make the mistake a lot of people do and have your toes sticking out over the cork bed

not a good look
I'd try a pair on before your buy I think

I am 5.5 and wear 38

I just got lovely purple patent ones from Amazon that I ordered in MAY!!! Well worth the wait though. I ordered my normal size, and now that they're here, I could do with a size smaller, but I've waited so long that I'll wear them regardless.

thisisyesterday · 29/07/2008 22:59

oooh well i was going to order from Amazon!!! so maybe I won't, because I want them now lol.

as for my toes. well, I think they're normal size hehe

im a 37 and buy a 36, you should have about half an inch gap at the end.
irks me when i see women with there toes right to the end, and heels hanging over flip flops.

BUY A BIGGER SIZE!
