Yes they do! womens trainers mainly always come in half sizes, mens in full sizes.

By the by - mens' trainers come in half sizes most places too - I'm a half size(not going to state which half size as I'm quite modest...ahem.), foot wise and can always get my size in major brands from most outlets with no problems!

If the trainers were not properly cleaned then I would open up a 'significantly not as described' dispute and you should be fully refunded as clothing items have to be fully cleaned to fulfill eBay's policies!

This is the kind of thread which makes sellers shudder.

hi there

the shoes where described as nearly new


the size is incorrect but will see if they fit me this morning

if they had been cleaned it would be nice,if i sell clothes etc i would never dream of sending out dirty,having said that there is only one part in middle of shoe with a handful of mud on there

am i too critical possibly,i am yet to email the seller

YES you are,

Maybe the seller didnt notice the mud, or thought they didnt want to risk damaging the shoe by cleaning off the mud.

You need to ask yourself a few things.

1. Are the shoes worth what you paid.
2. Can you clean them yourself and be satified with the finish.
3.Do they actually fit you regardless of what the size says.(I cant believe you havent tried them on before complaining).
4.If you are genuinely unhappy why havent you contacted the seller BEFORE moaning on a public forum.

Things to put on your TO DO list.

1, Decide if you even want the shoes.
2, TRY THEM ON !!
3, leave honest feedback.
4,Go for a run.

not sure how cleaning the shoe would damage it I think it's curtious to check an item before sending it to ensure it's at least clean.

purchased shoes for £22 and a tenner p and p

off topic but why do people consider the price ex p&p and then p&p as two distinct things? If I'm the only bidder on a 99p item with £3.00 postage, the cost of the item is £3.99 not "99p and, by the way I had to pay a bit of postage on top too" Sorry early in the morning and this will disturb me until I wake up and chill out (unless of course op is considering what sort of hit they'd take were they to send the item back)

Remember don't put your running shoes in the washing machine if you are going to clean them - it will wreck the insoles and padding - although second hand they are probably moulded to the origianl runners feet.
Personally I would not buy second hand running shoes as kickoff3pm states
Best to get your gait and running looked at in a specialised running shop and get the brand and style to fit your particular style, and even if you dont buy them there, take a note of the shoe and search online for them

As Armitage mentions above, it's these types of threads that make me wonder.
