Ive been on a bit of a spree buying boots and they all seem to vary over what a size '7' actually is,

i have an old pair from next that say size 41 is a 7, a new pair from ebay that say a 40 is a 7 and the latest pair arrive with a 39 on it.

Ive sent the seller of the last pair a message as they are really tight and im sure a 39 is a 6 but cant find anything that backs that up :rolleyes:

can anyone shed any light ??

TIA mishka

I think you are right 39= UK6, one pair of my trainers say USA 7 1/2, UK 5, EUR 38, CM 24.5 another pair say UK 5 1/2, CONT 39

I never realised there were so many different 'sizes', I've only bought 1 pair of stage shoes from Ebay before for DD and it was a real lottery inspite of getting the seller to measure from the heel to the toe (not an easy thing to do I realise).

Well it turns out my sellers mum was listing for her and made a mistake !!

Ive also had a hunt around the boot and it has 6 stamped on the inside of the collar.

She is going to refund me and let me sell them on, but as i HATE selling on ebay i think i will give them to a charity shop.

FF,

Bet you never fall over, hey !
I was a size 9 when i was pregnant (for some random reason my nose and feet got bigger ??? :eek: ) and all i could wear were flip flops so i really feel for you.

thanks all :beer:
