oh - i had asked this question recently!

I ended up emailing matches fashions and shopbop to get an answer.

and then measuring my feet with a tape measure!

Still dont think i am truly decided what size I am so am watching with interest.

Annianni · 13/06/2013 09:23

I think they are small size wise.

I'm a uk6 in Ash, Dune and Nike.
I think my birkenstocks are a uk5.
But a us9 (uk7) in Gigi's.

I have Sam Edelman ballet flats in a uk7, but have tried the Adena's in a 7 and they were huge.

I did try a 6.5 in Gigi's and my feet were right over the edges which didn't look nice.
With the 7's, there's a bit of sole showing.

ChablisLover · 13/06/2013 09:33

see Matches Fashions and shopbop both told me a 9 and I am a size UK6

Olivermoliver · 13/06/2013 09:56

I am a UK 5 or sometime s 5.5 so in reality I think I may need to size up, don't want claw like toes hanging over the edge!

I have wide size 6 feet (but take a 7 in most shoes to give me more width). The Gigi's I have are a US 9 and my size 6 feet fit nicely. They certainly couldn't be any smaller. I would say you should be aiming for a US 8 IMO.

Gillybobs · 13/06/2013 13:27

I'm a UK 7 and needed a us 10 in the ballet flats, I think they run small

ChablisLover · 13/06/2013 15:46

I also emailed Sam Edelman directly.

They've just got back an recommended a 8 for a uk6!

I'm even more confused!!!Confused

reluctantironer · 13/06/2013 16:44

I'm a UK size 5 and my gigis are a US8 - they fit me fine - hope that helps!

shopafrolic · 13/06/2013 20:27

I'm a 7 and wear a 10 in the Gigis

ChablisLover · 19/06/2013 08:15

i can confirm that a UK6 does need to take a US9 in the gigi's.

the ones i ordered arrived and it definitely takes a 9 to fit me.

DH hates them (his exact words - could you not have gone to primark and got a pair for £10 - but thats a whole other thread!)

Annianni · 19/06/2013 09:30

Which ones did you get Chablis?

I love my silver ones, and I bought the Gwyneth's last week... which are basically Gigi's but with studs and jewels on.

Olivermoliver · 19/06/2013 09:44

I still haven't ordered mine, debating whether they are worth £60 (call me tight!). I wish I could find some to have a look at first rather than pay P & P for delivery and then have to send them back.
Are they worth the money? I love the style and have a very simialr brown with jewels pair from Aldo from last year but fancy a coloured pair for a change.
i think I just need to order them don't I?!

Are you in the UK Oliver?

My Gwyneth's were only £29 in the Selfridges sale and Harvey Nicks had gigi's for £30 ish

Olivermoliver · 19/06/2013 10:41

Annianni I am in the UK but nowhere near either of those retailers. I will have a look on line with them though, have been looking on Matches but they are £59 plus P & P. I think for £30 ish I'd be more than happy to buy!

Annianni · 19/06/2013 11:22

What size did you want to try, and which colour are you after?

I know a few places to look online Wink

Annianni · 19/06/2013 11:24

Just seen above, think you should try an 8 or 8.5.

Got a sleepy 2 yr old on my knee.
I'll have a look when I can.

ChablisLover · 19/06/2013 13:53

i got a black patent boa print from long tall sally £29.75

They said they were a UK7/US9 but tried on and they are grand

Olivermoliver · 19/06/2013 15:51

Annianni, thank you so much for looking, i'll have a look later. I was set on colbalt but now considering pink.

Thanks again Flowers

I've just bought cobalt gigis and they are beautiful.

However, I am a size 5, or a 4.5 in Clarks and M&S so I ordered the size 7.

They fit and no foot overhang BUT the toe post is flatter and wider than I am used to. It looks lovely but it is uncomfortable. Does anyone know if it softens? Or the straps give a little with wear. They feel like a size up would be too big.

Help!

Olivermoliver · 19/06/2013 21:22

itsnotunusual That's swung it if they are beautiful!

Blue cobalt gigis on the way - hope I like them and they fit!

shopafrolic · 20/06/2013 13:46

Anyone with teeny tiny feet after Gigis?
pink and turquoise......

ChablisLover · 21/06/2013 07:10

Brand alley have gigi's for £35 from today

EliotNess · 21/06/2013 07:44

gah, tesco's just as nice

Olivermoliver · 22/06/2013 08:28

Cobalt Gigi's arrived and having done a mini pedi last night an had a try on with a few bits I will be keeping them!
Size 8 was perfect for me and they semi comfy.
Really wasn't sure when I unpacked the box but love the fact they are blue everywhere and they do look really nice on and will fit in with my planned Summer hols wardrobe.
