US shoe sizes

[ChablisLover]

Have seen a pair of shoes on a us website that I love and are reasonably priced.

What are us sizes like?

I'm usually a 6 - is this a us size 9?

Help??

yes

Thanks ruby.

I thought 9 is a size 7. I wear uk 5 or 5.5 / 6. A us 7 sometimes fits, depending on shoe. Or a us 8.

US sizes are generally about 2 larger than UK. So, size 8 (US) = size 6 (UK).

BUT, it's not always an exact mapping. See this. Also, might be worth checking with the website of the manufacturer you are buying.

US 8 = UK 6 = eur 37

Uk 6 = 39 i think, or 40

I agree uk and us not exact conversion

annoyingly i find it really depends.

i am a UK5 (sometimes 5.5) and this year have bought two pairs in US8 that are perfect but the boots I got last winter in a US7 are HUGE. and it was flipping shopbop so couldn't face the returns charges, can only wear with massive socks.

chablis what brand is it?

oops yes i was converting a US 6

Sam Edelman gigi's

What size is best

I just got back from the US and bought a few pairs whilst there. I'm usually a 7 or 7.5, depending on style, and I got 9.5 and 10s.

Oh I'm even more confused now!

Can't you try on here? Somewhere like Selfridges probably carries Sam Edelman.

It's usually two whole numbers up from the UK size. But obviously fit is slightly different from manufacturer to manufacturer and depends on the style. Like how I can sometimes wear a UK 8, but usually I need an 8.5 or a 9 to accommodate my sticky up toes.

I'm a UK7 and just checked the box of my Sam Edelman Abbotts - US9.

Hope that helps a bit.

I'm in Northern Ireland.

The only place I've seen them is in harvey nichols in Dublin and that's 2 hours drive away.

Plus dh would have a fit if I was even considering buying shoes from there!

If anyone has sen them in Belfast please let me know.

So sofa that would mean to order a 6

Sorry meant to say a size 6 would be an 8 then

Hang on a minute - does kg carry them or house of Fraser??

I can get to those shops.

In theory yes but I'd say SE are a bit on the small side, great for me cause I've got skinny feet. Maybe get an 8.5 to be on the safe side?

I would go for the 9 as my gigi's are quite narrow. what colour are you buying?

Am thinking the 9.

Shopbop customer services said a 9 but I might measure my feet first.

Am thinking of boring black. Haven't had a pair of black sandals for years and I think they are missing from my collection.
