Fat Face boots - only do one half size (6.5)

This seems bonkers to me. Im a 5.5 which I dont think is unusual but the boots I want (several styles) only do half sizes at 6.5. I wouldnt have thought there we so many people who need this size to warrant it being the only one. Either do half sizes or not at all! I am irrationally annoyed by this !

It's because they align sizing with European sizes so need a 6.5. They used to have 7 being both a 40 and 41 but neither was correct.

But surely that applies to other sizes too? The 6 and the 5 dont fit me properly

I'd avoid anyway. I bought a couple of pairs from FatFace a few years ago and both started disintegrating quite quickly.

It's not about you needing a 5.5. There is a whole European size between 5 and 6. And another whole European size between 6, 6.5 and 7 respectively. They aren't true half sizes.

Ah I see.

Im annoyed too. I have one foot 5 wide and the other 5.5 standard width so I can only wear 5.5. 6 is enormous and 5 too small. So Im stuck with Clarkes as M and S doesn't do 5.5 any more.
