Shoe sizes/ widths?
Posted on March 19, 2009 | 1 CommentDear Shoe Lady, I am thinking of ordering some shoes from your online store, but before I do that I wanted to ask about sizes, especially widths. My heel to toe length is about 10.5 in., and my ball width is about 4 3/8 in. I am interested in the following shoes and boots – do you think 11 WW will fit me? 49924 VERA, BLACK PATENT BY BELLA VITA 16377 JOCELYN, BLACK BY SUPREMES 53385 FROST, BLACK QUILTED BY SOFT STYLE Thanks for the help, Lauralee In a word, yes! All of the styles you’ve picked are... -
Shoe Size Information?
Posted on March 19, 2009 | No CommentsDear Shoe Lady, I am writing from Spain. I was very happy to find your web page as I have problems finding big shoes here in Spain. I already looked at many of the shoes you have and I would like to buy some…but I need to know first about size conversion, since I found in the internet different charts that do not show the same conversion with european sizes. I measured my foot as you suggest in your page and here is the result: 10,6 inch long and 4,1 in wide. Could you please tell me what size that... -
When a shoe “gaps” on the side?
Posted on March 4, 2009 | No CommentsDear Shoe Lady, I received my shoes but they gap on the sides. This is the biggest drawback of ordering shoes on line. Should I try the same shoe in a medium instead of a wide with. Do you know if Katie runs large. S.R. Dear S.R.- Gapping is one of the mysteries of shoe fit. It usually has less to do with the width of the shoe and more to do with how the shoe is cut in relation to the shape of your foot. For example, if the ball of your foot hits below the curve on the... -
Fitting my wide foot
Posted on March 4, 2009 | 1 CommentI measured my foot, and it is 9 3/4 inches long and 4 1/4 inches wide. From the floor to the top of my foot about mid-instep is 2 1/2 inches high. And the biggest part of my ankle where the bone protrudes is 11 3/8 inches. Because of the height of the top of my foot to the floor, I usually can not wear normal shoes that "wrap" up the foot or have a design that would go up the foot. Could you give me some different size possiblilties? Normal shoes that don't go up the foot, ones that do, and ones with ankle straps. Where an anklet would normally fit for me is 10 1/2 inches. -
Shoes for European Travel
Posted on March 4, 2009 | No CommentsDear Shoe Lady, I’m going to Italy for a two week vacation. I’ll never find my size there so I need to be sure to pack the right shoes. What do you suggest? SL, Tampa, FL Dear SL, Fortunately for you I can tell you what is in style this summer and what comfort and fashion oriented travelers are wearing. Lace ups are huge. Most women traveling have discovered the sport casual lace up look launched a few years ago by Puma. I suggest you look at our Swift by Hush Puppies style to get an idea of this look.... -
Dear Shoe Lady- I wear a size 11 men’s shoe and I don’t want to shop anymore in the men’s department!
Posted on March 4, 2009 | No CommentsOh my. All the hours I've spent skulking around in shoe bins in men's discount stores looking for a loafer that would seem cute; and feminine. This question brings back memories. The simple answer: if you wear a men's size 11 then you should be buying a women's size 13. But that's too easy. Let's get down to some of the things to consider. First, technically men's sizes tend to be 1.5 numbers less than the equivalent women's size. So, technically, you should be wearing a size 12.5. But no shoe manufacturers that we know make a 12.5. So move to the 13. There are charts on DesignerShoes.com's Shoe Size Chart that have detailed measurements.
