Do Prada shoes run true to size, or slightly small?

Hi, all!

I am new to the forum and am hoping to buy a pair of pre-owned Prada pumps (read: non-returnable). I have my eye on a 42 kitten heel I'm thinking about. I have never bought Prada shoes, but here are my known sizes:

US: 10
Jimmy Choo: 41.5 (I have long, narrow toes, so I go up a whole size and a half)
Manonos: 41
Louboutins: 41

Do you think I could wear the 42 if I pad it out?

Absolutely not. I wear a ton of Prada and they run full. I’m a true US 9.5 and a 40-40.5 in most Italian lines. I own at least 15 pair of Prada (prob more) and the largest is a 40.5 and they’re big on me but they’re a boot so I don’t care. All of my closed Prada are 40 and some of my sandals are 39.5. A 42 will be way too large on a US 10. Prada runs much fuller than Blahnik or Choo.

Agreed! I love Prada shoes (to be fair I only do their flats and heels not boots) and find they run true to size. I find them great for narrow feet - basically get your right size and have that little bit of wiggle room at the toe that feels great. I'm a size 37.5 and thats true in Prada, other brands typically do 37 for heels and flats depends on shape. Comparativly they run smaller than Gucci and Ferragamo but slightly shorter than e.g., Choos at the toe (would say same width but less room for the big toe)

I recently purchased a pair of leather prada ballet flats which I thought fit great initially but now I’m finding them uncomfortable on my pinky toes. Has anyone had Experience with these stretching a bit on their own if I continue to wear them or any other tips?

There are sprays to stretch leather, while you wear them, and the good old wear thick socks trick while you watch tv. They will stretch if you expedite the the process, or get a cobbler to stretch it for you if you dont want to stretch yourself.

I lurking on the pointy slingbacks.
Any feedback sizing wise?
Im a EU true 38.5…but these are rare and I often order 39 in sneakers and derbys, sometimes with an extra sole. But use 38 in heels/ pumps like Gianvito Rossi to make sure it holds firmly.
Also 38 in Superga tennis shoes which are a tiny bit too short. that’s a US 7.5
