    Question Need Help Urgently! Please, Somebody, Anybody!!! Dddd:

    Hi! I'm so confused right now! This is my first time ordering shoes online (amazon), and I've visited over 10 womens shoe size conversion sites. I'm a women's 26.5cm/26.7cm, and on the shoes that I wear IRL, they're usually EU 41/2(this means 41.5, yeah?). I need my US shoe size, but they're all different on the conversion sites! Sometimes I'm a 10, and then a 10.5, and then an 11. I dunno what size to buy (coz every shoe's US size 10/10.5/11 measure in cm is slightly different from each other, right?)! Does anybody know what a womens 26.5cm/26.7cm is in US for keds womens shoes(I'm getting wedges), Grasshoppers women shoes(wedges, also), Asics Onitsuka Tiger sneakers, kangaroo sneakers and Pony sneakers? Or what a size 10/10.5/11 US keds, grasshoppers, kangaroos, pony, asics onitsuka tiger measures in cm? THANKS A TRILLION!!!

    Ps: I checked with the shoes manufacturers on site, but they don't list shoe size in cm. I've tried calling and emailing them, but they don't respond to my emails quickly enough, or some not at all even. Calling is too expensive, cause I live outside the states, and it's like 10usd per minute with direct dial D:

    Also, please don't be discouraged by my longarse post. PLEASE just respond, even if you only know a morsel, or two, about the topic at hand.

    THANKS Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DDDDDD

    you have found the problem with ordering online. You are describing every one's dilema. I am an American size 11. I have worn EU 41, 41.5, and Italian 42. It depends on the shoe and maker.

    The shoes made in Italy tend to be the smallest. Shoes made in Spain are not as small, but smaller than American. American shoe size will be all over the place (they are usually manufactured in China or Brasil.) I just have to go with each shoe maker. Stuart Weitzman runs narrow and sometimes short. Christian Louboutin runs true to size (a little narrow on my foot though.)Cole Haan fits me well.

    The safest thing I can suggest is to purchase from a site that has liberal return policies. Amazon and Endless are the same company. Usually there are reviews that will tell if the size is large or small. You will have to pay for shipping if you buy and return something from Amazon, Endless will pay for the shipping. HOWEVER... Endless is more expensive than Amazon. (You do pay for the shipping one way or another.)

    Alright! Thank you so much! That helped I ordered a size 11 for keds and grasshoppers wedges, and a 10 for kangaroos sneakers(cuz I'm a size 10 in sneakers). I hope they fit comfortably. I'll just have to get heel grips and/or insoles if the 11s run big. Thank you!

    This is the main problem when ordering shoes online. I'm a former shoe salesman and from what I recall, keds should run true to size, I believe. I see that you say you wear anything from a 10 -10.5 -to an 11. That tells me that you have a narrow foot and should take a narrow width - if available.
