I tried the Trinas on last year and while I like and own several other Sam Edelman styles, the Trinas were quite uncomfortable for me. I am not sure why. They weren't giving me any support somehow. And they felt rigid. The leather was also quite stiff.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said that, I slipped on another pair earlier this season for comparison and they felt much better. So perhaps I was having a bad day the first time or maybe it depends on the colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1266284 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 12:42:27 +0000 Amy 1266284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've bought several Sam Edelman and am the same size US as AU (8). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1263635 Thu, 29 May 2014 01:41:55 +0000 anne 1263635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too late. That's what being an under buyer does to you!! I didn't just sit down and order them straight away! Oh well, no hurry. I won't need summer sandals til around November anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1262910 Wed, 28 May 2014 07:20:32 +0000 anne 1262910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did Rabbit!

Im glad you found that you were the same size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1262812 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:34:58 +0000 anne 1262812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge - thanks for that really helpful link. That chart seems to indicate that my normal 6 should be the right one.</p> <p>Caro, thanks for your link too. I am pretty consistently a size 6 (though really I am a 5.5, but they are too hard to find) though I do reject huge numbers of shoes both for comfort reasons and because of my wide ball of foot/shallow heel combination.</p> <p>Now to bite the bullet on which colour - but they all look so good I guess I can't go to wrong on that count! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1262811 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:34:06 +0000 carolbee 1262811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Caro said, various sites give different information. Having said that I ordered some Merrell sandals from Amazon and they were the same size as the ones I tried on in Oz. But that doesn't really help you.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1262804 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:28:02 +0000 Caro in Oz 1262804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some sites say they are the same some say they are different.&nbsp;I've been VERY lucky. Everything I ordered fits, but I measured the ones I wanted with similar ones I already had to make sure they were comparable. Just like here there is a huge variation in sizing (I have three different sizes in footwear in my wardrobe). The responses to my post were very helpful.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-us-shoe-size-would-i-be-please">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-be-please</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1262802 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:22:22 +0000 Inge 1262802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of the Trina's for you, Anne. I'm not entirely sure about the sizing, but I always find those size charts that have&nbsp;length of foot in centimetres and inches quite helpful. They're often more accurate than shoe sizes alone.</p> <p>Nordstrom has one for the Trina sandal, perhaps that will help?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-trina-silver">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sa.....ts-_-1_2_A</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/australians-buying-us-shoes---sizing#post-1262793 Wed, 28 May 2014 04:14:11 +0000 anne 1262793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am contemplating ordering those Sam Edelman Trina shoes that have been popping up a lot.<br /> I have NEVER ordered anything from the US before. According to a sizing chart I found online, the sizing is the same (I am an Australian size 6 usually) but I just thought I'd check if my fellow Aussies have found that the US sizing is indeed the same.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
