I think a shoe salesman told me once that the European sizes fall in between the American ones. Or if you wear European, try American.</p> <p>Is your problem maybe something like a narrow heel? Maybe your heel is slipping in the appropriate-sized shoe, which is leading you to try the next size down, which is actually too small.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would also get your foot measured so you can be sure of your size. Not all places do this anymore, unfortunately. I'm sure Nordstrom's does. Clarks Shoes also does it--I had my foot measured there recently. I think you would benefit from a good old-fashioned shoe store with SA's who have a lot of experience fitting shoes. They might be able to give you some advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-between-shoes-sizes---help#post-1075851 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 22:40:59 +0000 DonnaF 1075851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a vague memory from years and years ago that Nordstrom would allow you to buy the left shoe in one size and the right in another but only charge you for one pair of full price shoes.&nbsp; Since this is not one of my foot issues, I have never looked into this, but the worst that can happen is they say they don't do this, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-between-shoes-sizes---help#post-1073957 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 13:25:47 +0000 Anonymous 1073957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my feet is a half size larger than the the other. I always buy for the larger foot and add a drugstore insert to the shoe for the smaller foot. It works for me. I wear only flats or the lowest of heels. You might try different brands too and find one that is more your size, I'm between sizes in Clarks and just can't get them to fit because the arch is in the wrong place for my foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-between-shoes-sizes---help#post-1070081 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:26:31 +0000 Angie 1070081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really depends on the shoe, and whether a half size solves the problem. Never purchase too short, but width can often&nbsp;be stretched.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-between-shoes-sizes---help#post-1070069 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:14:49 +0000 carambola 1070069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that inserts can work nicely to take up a little bit of space when a shoe is slightly too big. They add to the cushioning and comfort too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-between-shoes-sizes---help#post-1070057 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:01:14 +0000 carter 1070057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one foot that's a bit wider and longer than the other. A shoe stretcher is the way to go! Buy the best you can afford...the quality varies greatly. The better ones come in singles, which works fine for me, but you might want to order 2. Amazon has several...be sure to get one that stretches length in addition to toe box width. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-between-shoes-sizes---help#post-1069943 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:09:24 +0000 Orla 1069943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>I'm between shoes sizes and find it so hard to get shoes that fit. Either I have to go for a size too small or one that is too big and stuff the toe. Have you any solutions?</p> <p>Thanks<br />O </p>
