Not sure if this helps anybody but thought I post the size and fit info as well.

I am a true US 8.5 (normal width), 39.5 for almost all designer shoes (Jimmy Choo, Valentino, Louboutin and Chanel). For these espadrilles I took a size 40 for the leather (single sole) and a size 39 for the canvas (double sole). They are both purchased last week from Saks, I didn't check the season number but I assume they are the current season (the canvas double sole for sure is the new season).



For the leather single sole - I also want to mention that I tried the 39 and 41, the 39 opening was so narrow that I could not even get my feet in. It is also a little snug for the 40, took some effort to put my feet in but once in they are fine. I felt that 40 is the best fit in terms of length. 41 was easy to get the feet in but once in my feet were kinda swimming in them with gaps all over the place (front and sides). So I settled on the 40 and I think the leather will stretch overtime.

For the canvas double sole - Pretty much the opposite of the leather single sole, I tried the 40 right off the bet and it fits like the 41 in leather single sole. So I took the next size down 39 and it fits like the 40 in leather single sole.


I do want to mention that the double sole is my new favorite!! It definately feels a lot more "cushion-y" then the single sole and it gives you a little bit more height. I am now thinking if I should get the leather in double sole as well (if I can ever locate them in my size).
thanks so much for this tip!! I am waiting on a larger size in the leather pair and I am debating getting the canvas pair as well. Just wish my Saks had them all in stock cause I am tired of waiting for shipping and going back and forth to try them on

I was so annoyed and fed up by them I eventually caved and found a personal shopper. Turned out to not be as expensive as I feared haha. Do you think the shipping from the USA going to be worth it? x
I cancelled my order because the SA refused to comply with my US to UK shipping service! It sucks :( also I was getting really worried that they wouldn't fit. May I ask which personal shopper you use? It's nice to have a fellow Londoner on the forum! X

I used 'Threads Styling'. They managed to get a pair of the canvas style, but no word on the leather ones. I definitely post a picture when they arrive! x
