I'm a uk 4. Pre pregnancy a 3.

HundredMilesAnHour · 28/04/2019 21:51

I think there's some conversion confusion with the sizings here OP. For example, Jerry Hall is a size 10 US. So that's a 7.5-8 UK.

nannyplummyarse · 28/04/2019 21:56

I'm a 5 or a 5.5 depending on the shoe.

suze28 · 28/04/2019 21:57

4.5 which is an awkward size in some ways, I tend to size up to a 5 for boots which makes it easier.

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 28/04/2019 21:57

3.5/ 4

suze28 · 28/04/2019 21:59

I forgot to add that I'm 5ft 7.5 and people comment that I have smallish feet for my height.

shitpark · 28/04/2019 22:01
  1. I think I'm about right for my height of 5ft 5. I find it relatively easy to buy shoes and can buy online without worry about trying on.
happymummy12345 · 28/04/2019 22:03

I'm a 7, never have any issues buying shoes

swapsicles · 28/04/2019 22:05

6 and 5ft 2
Normal shoes fine, not often any left in sales though!

Vinorosso74 · 28/04/2019 22:06

I'm a 5. According to my SIL I have small feet but at 5'4" I think they're pretty average!!

bonzo77 · 28/04/2019 22:09

5ft 2. Size 6. I have difficulty finding shoes due to the shape of my feet (shallow) and extreme pickiness regarding comfort (which actually might be sensory issues and part of a bigger issue).

RubertRoo · 28/04/2019 22:09

I'm 6ft tall and a size 7 usually. occasionally I'm an 8 in flat ballet styles and a 6 in some heels depending on the store usually

KondoKonvert · 28/04/2019 22:11

I'm a size 8 but this often fluctuates between a Euro41 and 42. A Euro 42 always fits.

I'm 5'11"

BedraggledBlitz · 28/04/2019 22:13

I think I am 6.5 but my wide feet make me size up sometimes to 7. I have some m and s wide shoes in 5.5.

I struggle to buy suitably wide shoes. If I find a comfortable pair I'll sometimes buy a second pair.

Crushedvelvetcouch · 28/04/2019 22:13

5' 8.5 and a size 6.5/7.

Pretty average size but I do have trouble with buying shoes due to narrow feet and a high instep.

DramaAlpaca · 28/04/2019 22:16

I'm a 7.5 with narrow feet, especially my ankles. It's not all that easy to find shoes that fit. I'm 5'10 so my shoe size is proportionate to my height.

LegoLady95 · 28/04/2019 22:20

A small 3. I find it very hard to buy adult shoes that fit, but thankfully lots of kids shoes are just smaller versions of women's shoes, and cheaper too.

LegoLady95 · 28/04/2019 22:22

Also, I am petite in general. Boots are ok as I can get away with ones thay are slightly too big, and flip flops in summer. Any type of 'shoe' tends not to fit unless it is a kids pair.

SirVixofVixHall · 28/04/2019 22:22

I am 5’8” and was a size 5, but post babies I am a five and a half.
By the way Kylie is a size 2 to 2 and a half. I know for certain because I sold her some shoes many years ago. No one else had been able to get them on, it was like Cinderella.

TashieWoo · 28/04/2019 22:23

3.5/4 and I’m 5ft6. So rather small feet for my height!

Aimily · 28/04/2019 22:24

5ft2 and a size 4.5.
Always difficult to find shoes to fit so end up wearing 5.

Oddly though, when I was 18, I was 11 and a half stone, my feet were a size 6, when I started loosing weight my feet shrunk, I didn't know this was actually possible,l.

TashieWoo · 28/04/2019 22:26

I’ve given up trying to buy knee high boots because they’re always too short for me, plus I have rather wide calves so my tiny feet never look in proportion. I prefer pointy shoes for that reason as they make my feet look bigger 😉

TheWashingMachine · 28/04/2019 22:27

I'm a 38.

Pythonesque · 28/04/2019 22:31

Agree that the celebrity sizes quoted are going to be on a mix of scales. I'm a UK 9 (ish); nearly 6 ', so in proportion. Australian sizes I'm 11 to 11.5, not sure if that also correlates with American sizing.

I find it a lot easier to find shoes that might fit than I used to, but the choice is generally still pretty limited. As a teenager in Australia - put it this way, we eventually found a great shop that made dance and theatre shoes at an affordable price. Mens shoes are fine for trainers though.

locketsprocket · 28/04/2019 22:33

4.5, really depends on show if they are wide I buy a 4 but lots of heels I would buy a 5 because 4.5 is not available in most shoes. I'm 5"6 and a half people always comment on my small feet
