I say size up if the item in question is something you could easily get tailored to fit if it doesn't quite fit as is.

It's easier to lose some fabric than to add some, after all.

Size up, except in items with stretch. It's simply safer. Enjoy the shopping!!

I've just realised that I've got a bit more time than I thought... I have a little longer.

I'll try to link, but I am wary of them being snapped up... I'll try to post the image on its own but will have to wait until I move to another computer.

I kindly received a pair of Me Too Lulus from Kim (thanks Kim) I usually take a six, the Me Too were an eight and although incredible comfortable I think a half size bigger may have been perfect.

I am usually in between sizes of shoes (either an 8 or 8.5) and usually size up (8.5) in Me Too shoes. Me Toos tend to have a wider, rounded toe shape, which is a good fit for my feet (not wide feet, but my toes are straight across rather than slanting like most people's feet do.)
My Me Too Swann flats, which have patent caps at the toe and heel, don't stretch much. My Me Too Nini and Legend flats, which are a softer leather, do stretch a little over time, so if they are *slightly* small and aren't rigid patent, I wouldn't be so worried.
Hope that this helps!

Thank you everyone! Kari, I think that I am exactly the same size as you and assume I would have similar issues and Julie, I think my feet are a tiny bit bigger.

The shoes are the larger of the two sizes - I think I'll give them a go and if they're too tight will see if Julie wants them! They are heeled booties.

Thanks again.

Polly, some ebayers (that's not a word is it?) do allow returns, have you checked for that?

Good thinking - I suspect they won't accept returns as they are used (but look as if they really have been hardly worn - there's still a slightly torn label on the sole) but I will check. I don't normally buy used shoes.

Any news Polly, I find it almost intolerable waiting for an auction to end, do you?

I got them! I was the only bidder.

They're these:

They might not work out but I decided I was happy to take the chance!
