Hi,
I am looking to purchase the GR Plexi embellished satin pumps in EUR37.5, but not familiar with their sizing, and am unable to try them - need some advice please!

My feet measure 23.5cm in length and 8.5cm on the widest part of my foot as I have a bit of a bunion, but my feet are generally considered narrow (I think, but people tell me that I have narrow feet).

I wear Valentino pumps in EUR36.5/37, and from their website those sizes translate to 23.6cm/24.cm.

Would EUR37.5 GR Plexi Pumps be too loose for me? The material for tip and heel is satin, so that wouldn't stretch out as much?

Please let me know if EUR37.5 is a go or no go.

Thanks so much!!!

I think the 37.5 would be a little loose on you. I wear Eur37 in Valentino and all my GR plexis are Eur37. So if you are Eur36.5/7, the Eur37 should work.

Also, satin should be a bit more flexible. Now if you had said patent, then I'd say the 37.5 may be doable, but regular leather and satin are more forgiving and may stretch if you wear them often enough.

Ah, this is so helpful thank you so much. Unfortunately they're out of 37. Do you think foot inserts would work? Else, looks like i gotta let these ones go

Yes, try inserts if the 37.5 is slightly big. Maybe it will work since you did say you have a slight bunion and plexis are very pointy so it may be more roomy in toe box.

Thanks so much for sharing, but I think I may give these a miss although so tempted to try them with the toe pads. 37.5 does sound like a bit of a stretch, if I compare the sizing in cm to the Valentinos D:

Sorry, have another question for you (obviously these shoes have been on my mind) - what size do you wear for CL? I have a pair in low heels (70mm) in size 37, and those are super snug (might be a bit too snug, but have not tried 37.5 to compare).

I haven't purchased CL in years, but for the most part, I'd ptobably go with 37.5 to be safe, especially for anything pointy (and CLs run narrow), even though all my old CLs were 37.

If you have an opportunity to try plexis in person, do try the 37.5 so you have smth to base your future purchase on.

Thanks so much for sharing! I definitely will, but for now I think I'm giving these a miss. Thanks again!

I agree w your decision, but in case my advice was off, since nothing beats trying on a shoe in person, I didnt want you to miss out on future purchases. Good luck finding a pair of 37s.
