[Poll] Shoe sizes

[dancefloorlandmine]

OK, this is quite a long one, due to pollage, but was inspired by [Poll #391500](If you've got an assortment of differently sized shoes, please pick your usual size. If you don't know what UK size you take, the link above has a comparison table.)

OK, so I'm both bored and curious ...

EDIT: nils, is there something you want to share with the group? [grin] There's always one ...

It was Italian shoes my mother resorted to in Harrods - Ferrogama (sp?) or something. Unfortunately, Italian taste in shoes (esp in the late 80s) had a tendency to gold lame and overdecoration, which was a problem. When my feet finally got wide enough to fit *some* UK styles, my ma was greatly relieved. When I discovered that you could wear boots all year, I was relieved. But now I need work shoes.

The sandals that have lasted 15 years were 150 quid, if I remember correctly, which is a hell of a lot to spend on shoes for a teenager. But I have worn them a lot, over the years, and I still like the style of them. In fact, I gave serious thought to getting them copied last year, when I ripped them on an escalator. Instead, I mended them. But I'm still tempted to get them copied. Where does one get shoes copied?

Salvatore Ferragamo. Still a favourite with Sloane girls everywhere. :)

Boys school shoes are blessedly wide, and usually you can find fairly plain black loafers, suitable for work. You might find you want a 4 not a 5 in some shops as manufacturers allow "room for growth."

I always wear DM boots and trouser suits, meself. Saves the whole "ladder in my tights" crisis.

I have narrow feet, not wide.
