This is how EUR sizes 40 and 41, which I had ordered,&nbsp;were converted.</p> <p>9.5 was lost in translation. Bummer.</p> <p><b><i>The latest update</i></b><br />All was not lost as I figured out very quickly&nbsp;Size 9&nbsp;would break in easily. But, I am not 100% sold on them. They are very dramatic and I fear I'd feel too self-conscientious&nbsp;wearing such pattern on my feet.&nbsp;And I'm not keen on the material they are made of. With the spring coming and my cycling everywhere, I have no idea how they'd behave as I rub them against the pedals.</p> <p><b><i>Conclusion</i></b><br />The booties are absolutely beautiful and no doubts super&nbsp;comfortable, I had a lot of ideas how to style them, but something was missing, the spark, the magic... something.&nbsp;They probably have one of the nicest shapes I've seen in a long while and they just make legs and the whole figure&nbsp;look feel even more feminine. </p> <p>But, thanks to them&nbsp;I actually figured out I am not much of a animal pattern girl, perhaps some zebra (stripes) or giraffe (geometry), but cheetah/leopard on my feet is not really me. Perhaps that's it, I don't know or I may just not be ready to go that wild with my look.</p> <p>Having said that,&nbsp;I completely understand why this&nbsp;style of bootie had gained such big and faithful&nbsp;following&nbsp;and will keep an eye on it, perhaps something in the color I'd feel more comfortable with will happen. &nbsp;</p> <p>ETA<br /><b><i>The most important lesson</i></b><br />I have resisted the temptation of (a) beautiful piece that would&nbsp;undoubtedly (b) lift up and refresh my stale wardrobe, and all at a very (c) decent price due to it being on&nbsp;sale. But, it wasn't right, for whatever reason, and we parted our ways. With each return we come closer to our true style selves, right?&nbsp;I feel more mature now :-)</p> <p>Big <b>thank you</b> to everyone who chimed in with&nbsp;comments&nbsp;while I was still at decisioning stage.</p> <p>x,<br />O. </p>
