I was coming back to say that I thought the smaller size might work. I just ordered a pair of Docs that look very similar--a brogue style in pewter patent leather. I usually wear a 7 in US or 7.5 and have worn 37, 37.5, or 38 in European sizes--most often 37.5 if it's available. I ordered the 38 in the Docs, and they are huge. Lots of space all around my foot. So here's hoping yours will work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351453 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 21:26:11 +0000 bj1111 1351453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so glad you took a chance. &nbsp;those shoes would work well with your skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351385 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 19:38:06 +0000 Astrid 1351385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Amiable. </p> <p>Suz, you're probably right. But then I don't have to wonder about missed chances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351379 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 19:31:12 +0000 Suz 1351379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope they work for you, Astrid.

I can always return... But I know I would have kept thinking about them, so it's better to try. Ordered them for 85€ instead of 189€!</p> <p>Donna, they are called AILA (arcadia in cherry red).</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351342 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:43:03 +0000 DonnaF 1351342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute!!!&nbsp; What is this style called? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351301 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:48:25 +0000 Astrid 1351301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Firecracker! Agree with you, I love that they are more subtle.</p> <p>Thanks Amiable! I have to say I'm definitely tempted... Maybe I should just order them and try, without getting my hopes up too much. Otherwise I might end up second guessing myself all the time. Also I would have never ever bought these at full price, so I admit the mark down is tempting.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon! That's what I thought. Too bad they aren't available one size up. </p> <p>Thanks Elizabeth! We do have a B&amp;M store where I could go. I'm still at home with a cold though and there aren't many pairs left, so that's not really an option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351299 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:47:13 +0000 Elizabeth P 1351299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there a b&amp;m store nearby you can go and try on some that would have a similar footbed?&nbsp; They sound small, however I know when I tried on the more "traditional" Docs, I took them smaller than my wedge ones (which are a narrower, more "ladylike" footbed) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351290 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:37:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1351290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those shoes Astrid and am a HUGE fan of Docs - wearing mine today as a matter of fact!</p> <p>I wear a US 6.5, UK4 and 37 European. I have had 4 pairs of Docs all UK4 - I do find their sizing very consistent which is great.</p> <p>If you wear a 37.5 or 38 European, I suspect the UK4 might be a bit small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351289 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 17:31:10 +0000 amiable 1351289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a 39 or&nbsp;40 usually (the ball of my foot is wide, and I often size up for width), and ordered Docs size 7 last week. &nbsp;They were huge on me. &nbsp;So I would be inclined to try a smaller size if I had the chance. &nbsp;</p> <p>And I think Docs tend to run wide (the ones I tried were definitely wider than I expected). &nbsp;</p> <p>Still, a 4 sounds pretty small.....</p> <p>I'm no help.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351236 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:36:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1351236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know about the fit, but I love the style! Like you, I find the subtle design really appealing. I also like this more refined style of Docs that doesn't have the yellow stitching, for its versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351231 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:32:26 +0000 Astrid 1351231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana! You're right that I do have to take width into consideration because I have wide feet. Normally 38 has a bigger chance to work out, but with wider shoes I had 37 that fit me in the past. I would probably order a 4.5 in shoes with comfort width though, not a 4... Maybe there's my answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351225 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:28:04 +0000 Diana 1351225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a 38 generally (sometimes 38.5) and my Docs are a UK6 (ideally I'd be a UK 5.5 but that does not exist; my toes hit the front of UK5), so I'm guessing these will be a little tight for you.&nbsp; </p> <p>BUT it may depend on how you size your shoes.&nbsp; I determine my shoe size based on length (for example, all docs are too wide for me) but I know some people with wider feet determine it more by width.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-docs-sizing-question#post-1351211 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:14:49 +0000 Astrid 1351211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just found these beauties for over 50% off and I wanted some new shoes for fall anyway, so they are tempting. But they are only available in a size 37 which I guess corresponds to a UK4. I think when I tried some 14 eye boots two years ago the UK5 felt a bit tight, but I can't really remember exactly what the issue was. I usually wear a size 37.5 or 38... Do you think these are worth a try? I don't want to have the hassle with returns if they have no chance of working out.</p> <p>ETA</p> <p>What do you think about the style? I love the flower look (with hidden skulls in the front!).</p> <p>ETA2</p> <p>They arrived today, but they were too small. Not by much though, I could get them on right. But my feet were a bit too wide so my smaller toes didn't have enough room. </p> <p></p>
