my regular shoe size is US 11 (10.5 in, 26.7 cm), so I’d be buying a US 10.5 (10.3 in, 26.2 cm).
A coworker I know does this sometimes. She says its ok with heeled sandals and slingbacks, but not ok with pumps, because sandals and slingbacks are open.
What’s your experience? I really like that model and size 11 is sold out.
Shoe size contrary to common belief is not formalized between brands and usually only refers to the shoe length not its width or volume. In my experience as a cobbler shoe size is largely a suggestion. It is possible to stretch shoes, some better than others but the attempt certainly can made. End of the day If its the wrong size your body will tell you
