I bought a pair of Prada flame shoes, listed as 38-1/2 NIB. I just get them, they are 39-1/2.
Here's the auction:

Here's what the seller says:
"How can it be a sz 9.5? I only had 1 shoe like this and it is the one in the photo and by looking at the last photo of the sz you can clearly see its 38.5 plus I take insole measurements of each shoe at the time of listing and it states 10" that is the length of a sz 8.5 not a 9.5 so I don't know how you could have gotten a 9.5 if I never had one in that sz."
I'll agree with her that at that angle, the last image of the shoe bottom could be a 38-1/2. Then again it could be a 39-1/2. But the box is more clear.
So, I've taken photos and put them on line, and have emailed her back the following:
"Greetings:
Let's forget about the American sizes and the length of the insole and stick with the Euro sizes as that is how these shoes are labeled and sold. Looking at your last photo, the insole does appear of first glance to be 38-1/2. But when I download it and blow it up in Photoshop and sharpen and rotate it, it is more clearly a 39-1/2. I do a lot of photography so I am pretty good at these things. Here is a link to YOUR photo, blown up.

The box tho is very clear. Here is a link to the label of the box. Both the box and the label are clearly 39-1/2.

Here's a link to my very clear photo of the bottom of the shoe, showing 39-1/2.

This photo doesn't show much except the 39-1/2, the box, and the shoes.

I've bought a few of these Flame shoes (check my feedback) and I know that my wife's correct size is 38-1/2. I will have her try these on when she comes home, and if they happen to fit we will keep them. But at a whole size too large, I doubt it.
If they don't fit, I trust I can return them for a full refund plus shipping."
(Feel free to look at the pics, of course.)
If she still claims they are 38-1/2, should I just go ahead and file a SNAD, and is it better to do so with PP or ebay?
