Hello Ladies,
Help is needed with the sizing. I am trying to get my hands on Plexi 70. My usual sizes are 37 in CL, Manolo and Ferragamo, 36.5 in Jimmy Choo and Valentino. Should I take a 37 or 36.5? Thank you so much in advance.

I dont own any of the designers you mentioned, except for Valentino. my plexis are the same size as my valentinos so I'd go with 36.5.

I'm looking to buy my first GR shoes, but I'm unsure about the sizing. I'm usually a 38 (in high street brands) and when trying YSL Anja Pumps 85 mm in patent leather the 38 was slightly too tight in the toe box. So I figure that a 38,5 would be perfect...but my question is how this would translate to GR pumps in 85mm heels?

Hi, i have the same concern before trying to figure out the right size of GR pumps for me. In my case I was aimingnto get a GR 2847 black patent pumps in 105mm. Im an a size 40 in most designer pumps depending on the style. When I finally got a chance to go to a GR store and tried the shoes, i found out out that patent leather in size 40 fit a bit tight but the size 40 in nubuck leather fit perfectly fine. So I ask for a size 40.5 of the patent leather and it fit me perfect. Unfortunately they dont have the 40.5 in black patent and was only able to try it with the red patent so i am waiting for 40.5 in blank patent to be in stock. The same situation goes in Christian Louboutin store since it was beside GR store. I tried the pigalle 120 in patent and the 40 fits tight but the 40.5 fits perfect. I think it is highly recommended to go half size up for patent leather pumps.

Hi:

my experience is just slightly different from yours…I too am a 40 in Gianvito Rossi, and actually own quite a few pairs of the 2847 pumps, but I am 40 in both the kid leather colors as well as the patent colors…..I find the leather that Gianvito Rossi’s uses break in very easily and after two or three wears, the fit becomes like a glove……this is not the case with Louboutins which may take as many as 8-10 wears before they finally break in……anyway, just my two cents to the conversation…..

I see. So the patent leather tends to stretch a bit after a few wear? If that is the case then taking the size 40 in 2847 black patent would not be so bad after all, I would just break it in until it fits well. I dont want to end up having a loose fit heel slipage in the future. Thank you for sharing, it really help and i appreciate it. Good thing that I havent made the purchase

That sounds very logical since the patent shouldn't have the quality to stretch, as complete natural materiels have. I concur! Nice to see that we both have the same experience then. I haven't ordered yet but I'll update when I have. :)

So I've received the GR pumps in size 38,5 but I actually find them just little bit too big. There is 2-3 mm gap on the top of the heel cap. I can make it work, or if it is summer time when feet tends to get swollen anyway, then I think they will be OK. I haven't decided yet if to keep or return...
