well, i'm in the US, so i'm not completely sure, but I purchased my normal size.
i have thick calves because I do a lot of running and rollerblading, which builds up a lot of muscle mass, and my thighs are a bit larger than the normal person's... I'm -medically- overweight in America (though my weight is just fine in Europe, America seems to think differently) and I bought thigh-high ballet boots that fit just fine if I lace them properly.
is there any way to try some on? that would be best. but if you're buying online, make sure the site has a workable exchange policy!
