Argh I’m back with a sizing dilemma in the SSs. Sorry, this is long.
I have a pair of 37s in silver glitter (ordered online) that seemed to fit, but I quickly realized (2nd wear) that they did feel a bit loose. They’re comfy but my feet definitely come out of them (I don’t wear socks with them. This might fix the issue).
So I ordered the blurple disco glitter pair that I shared 1-2 pages back in 37 and was surprised those felt snugger. I felt like they fit when I first tried them, so this morning I decided to wear them (wore my silver ones yesterday), and I tightened them in case they loosened up like the silver.
Well, as the day went on, I realized the tops were really rubbing, and the sides felt snug and also rubbing a bit). The textured inside of the tongue felt rough and since it was tighter...my feet felt less than awesome. Coincidentally, we were shopping in the shoe section at
Nordstrom and I spotted two golden goose SSs on display. Of course, there was an iridescent pair that caught my eye and I had to try them on.

Unfortunately they only had a 36 in store, so I tried them on since the 37 was clearly so inconsistent for me (at this point my feet were feeling very unpleasant). I got the 36s on after the SA stretched them a smidge and was surprised they felt more comfortable than my size 37 blurple disco glitter ones. Felt snug but slightly less so. My toe wasn’t rubbing the end, but super close.
Needless to say, at this point I was confused. Despite aforementioned snugness on the sides, as I took some steps you could see my left foot would *slightly* lift out of these iridescent 36s. I’m beyond confused at this point, unsure if my feet are numb from the pain of the blurple ones. Well, the SA takes a look at the blurple ones I was wearing and it turns out I was sent the wrong size and had been wearing the 36s all day.
So. After all that. Because I apparently am a glutton for punishment, and I really want the iridescent pair. Are the 36s, given the length appears to be fine, the right size that needs to be broken in? Or am I doomed to wear 37s with not socks (I can’t seem to find any that actually stay in place)?
