I am GUTTED.
I bought a pair of dark brown suede CL Drapanovas in size 40 for my wife. Most of her shoes are a size 39 and the general concensus on this forum was to size up 1/2 to 1 size. So I thought a size 40 CL would be OK.
I'm especially gutted as I think they are one of the most gorgeous shoes I have seen and I am only a fella! I have since realised that my wife's size is actually 38.5 but she often buys the 39s when there are no half sizes available.
So the Drapanovas are too big, enough to get one of her fingers down the back of her heel. I am still surprised as it would appear that, given suedes tendency to stretch, they are actually TTS!
When she tried them on she did say that, apart from the fact they were too big, they did feel extremely comfortable.
So I am now stuck with the wrong size shoes. I know this is a long shot, but if any one out there has just bought a pair of 38.5/39 suede Drapanovas that are too small for them and they need size 40 maybe we can help each other out.
My other option is to place them on EBay but that does not help me find a replacement pair in the right size.
