Something a bit odd here. UK male and female shoe sizes are nominally identical. For example I usually take UK9 in both mens and womens shoes. Of course sizing does vary, espeically with higher heels where you may need to go up a size.

The 2 size difference is between UK and US womens. So UK7 is usually equated to US9 womens.

Boots add the complication of ankle, calf (and thigh) sizes. I have thin legs and find most boots too wide though this can be fixed by a good shoe repairer.

Make sure you know whether you are buying UK or US sizes. Better still is to try them on first.
