Problem is daughter has tried on sz7 in schuh (the latter link I presume) but can get them much cheaper at cloggs but what difference does the z and w make?

Anyone help, please?

    I always thought when there was a z after the number this referred to them being the Dr Martens with the yellow stitching ...... but both of these pair you have links to, have the yellow stitching !
  • So I've done some research and I'm pretty sure that the 'z' means unisex and the 'w' is for womans.
