I know I usually fit a EU 40, but I am confused with the other sizes....... |
Bit of a hijack, but let's conclude this if we can?
I recently bought 7 pairs of heels from the US, all size 10 (US BTW).
Nine West and Via Spiglia (will check spelling later) were a good UK8.
4 other pairs were a wearable UK8, but would cripple anyone with anything other than slim feet. One pair was clearly marked EU40, which I assure you, is a UK7, and was marked as US10.
One pair, was almost impossible to get on my feet. They went on, but were so tight it would hurt me to walk in them. These were clearly NOT a UK8, and I doubt a US10, though they were marked as such.
Conclusion? Even in America, a US10 means different things to different manufacturers.
Pleasers:
EU41 as I've said, is UK8 and I'm happy it might be US10 too, though experience above suggests a "10" is a bit of an irregular size?
I've 4 pairs of Pleaser now, all EU41. Every pair is slightly too long on overall length [making the UK7.5 claim unlikely] but short on toebox.
I've tried Aldo UK8 here in the UK, and found them tight. The claim to EU40 may be correct for that reason, but there is no way they are US11. If I'm honest, I would say an EU41/UK8 is actually a US10.5 [made by very few] so more like a US11.
Taking that a step forward; UK8 = US11 = EU4
2 ??
Which makes your EU40 feet, even smaller.
