Greetings!
This is my first post to this fine board. I need to tap into your seemingly infinite shoe wisdom.
I'm looking to buy a rather big present for my girlfriend. She has at least 4 dozen pairs of shoes, including some designer ones. I know she absolutely loves Louboutin's "Very Prive" style - I'm talking about the peep-toe ones with the platform and no sling. My dilemma is, however, which size to choose, as I want this to be a surprise. She's typically a 40.5-41 in closed shoes and boots, but sometimes uses as small as 40 in open ones/sandals. She does have relatively wide feet, but it has only ever been a problem in the toebox area. She has also frequently bought shoes that were a tiny bit tight, in the hope of "breaking them in".
Some designer examples from her collection with which you may be familiar include D&G boots with a 4" or so heel in EU41 and Miu Miu platform wedge sandals (even higher than the D&G boots) in EU40. She uses both of them frequently, so the fit must be good.
As far as I can tell - and I've done my research - the Very Prives run true to size. So, do you think size 40.5 would work? Or would 41 be a smarter choice? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Any advice and comments are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
