Alright, so the other day I was trying to figure out my shoe size for *, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey. I’ve heard a lot of different things about whether their shoes run true to size, big, or small. So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and dive in.
First, I started by reading a bunch of online forums and reviews. There was this one thread on PurseForum where people were talking about *’s shoe sizing. Some said they’re true to size, others said they run a bit large or small. It was a mixed bag, honestly. Then I stumbled upon another discussion about the Ash Jalouse boots, which are apparently notorious for sizing issues. That got me thinking, “Okay, this might be trickier than I thought.”
I decided to measure my feet, just to be sure of my actual size. I used a measuring tape and compared it to their size chart. I also looked for any special notes on their website, but it just said to order the size that normally fits best. I read that sizing can vary between manufacturers, but Shoes For Crews tries to be consistent with European sizing standards, so that’s something, I guess.
Then I thought about the style of shoes I wanted. I’ve heard that some styles can fit differently. Like, if you’re getting sandals, they might fit differently than boots, right? And I remembered seeing these cute black tartan plaid ones on * Factory, but I wasn’t sure about the sizing there either. I’d rather get a shoe that fit me perfectly, but if I had to choose, it would be better to be a little bigger than too small, I can always wear thicker socks.
After all that, I decided to just order my usual size and hope for the best. I mean, if they ended up being too big, I could always add some foam inserts in the toes or wear thicker socks. And if they were too tight, well, I could try different lacing techniques to make them fit better. I also found out that J. Crew is usually true to standard sizing. I checked out some reviews from people with similar builds as me. For instance, a guy who’s just over 6 feet and 185 pounds said their large fits him perfectly.
My Conclusion
- Measure your feet to be sure of your size.
- Consider the style of shoe you’re buying.
- Read reviews, but take them with a grain of salt.
- If in doubt, you can use inserts or try different lacing.
In the end, I’m still waiting for the shoes to arrive. But I’ll keep you all posted on how they fit! It’s always an adventure buying shoes online, isn’t it? Hopefully, this little experiment of mine helps someone else out there trying to navigate the wild world of * shoe sizing. Stay tuned!
