I don't have the slingback but I have the Princetown in leather, jacquard and canvas. If the slingback is anything like the Princetown (and I believe it *is* the princetown but with the strap), depending on just how much your heel hangs over, I would be cautious going a full size up because the leather on these is ultra soft and will give as you wear them, allowing your foot to move forward. If you go a full size up you could wind up sloshing around in them. Is mytheresa the only store you can buy from? I'm not in the market for this particular shoe so I'm not up on availability (nor am I your size), but I have noticed it available from other stores... perhaps check with farfetch, matches, the gucci website... would be a shame to spend so much on a shoe and have the fit be less than ideal. FWIW I can wear either a 37 OR a 37.5 in the Princetown. I have both, and while the 37 **justtttt** fit my foot length at first when it was new, to the point I questioned it being the best size, since wearing it and the shoe relaxing the fit is also that much more generous... and that's in the jacquard, which is stiffer than the buttery leather. In the leather and canvas mine are 7.5 and I've found they've relaxed substantially.

I was so hesitant going up but my heel was hanging off and they just looked small. I'm from Australia and for the past year I've been trying to track down these shoes. I called Gucci yesterday and they won't be getting anymore in unfortunately
I guess I could return them again if they are too big and then if thats the case i'll have to accept that I can't have these shoes. I will say though that in the 39.5 because the leather was so soft I could actually put my foot all the way in the shoe and my heel was still just hanging off. But I'll post again here once the 40.5 come.
I purchased the lace they are so gorgeous! 
Hello! I just purchased my Gucci princetown with the embroidered rose yesterday. I am wondering if I am being too picky. There is a stitch out of place. Also, I took my normal size and am now wondering if it's too small. I am a US 7.5 and bought the EU 37.5. My left foot seems to be smaller than the right but I am worried I am slightly hanging over the end with my right foot. Please see pictures. Thanks!

I'm not sure about the stitch - I feel like that is an easy fix. However, they are definitely too small. These run small and most size up half to a full size up, the latter sometimes depending on if your foot is wide. If you exchange for half size up that will also solve the issue of the stitching with a new pair!
Thank you for responding ladies. You were right. I tried on the size EU38 today and I realized right away I was trying to cram my toes into the EU 37.5. I also made sure to check all the stitching this time! 
Love them so much!!
Love them so much!!
Hey Liz, how are you liking these lace ones? I'm contemplating if I should get them as my first pricetown as the signature buckles are kind of lost in the lace ...and am afraid that it's a little too busy. Here are pics of me trying them on. Do you think the size is good? FYI, I'm usually 36.5 and I'm trying a pair of 37.5

Just thought I would update..
My exchange came and the 40.5 is too big. I knew straight away when I put it on my foot and didn't even bother unpacking the other shoe and they have now been sent back. 40 is the perfect size for me which is sold out on Mytheresa unfortunately. I'm debating whether reordering the 39.5 however I know shouldn't. I just really want these shoes and it's been a year of me trying to track these down. If anyone knows any other online stockists for these that have a size 40 womens please let me know, I'd be very very grateful! I might go into Gucci tomorrow and see what they can do for me in terms of tracking down a size 40 because the customer service when I call are no help unfortunately.
My first princetown~~ It's true to size for me. I am 37 in most shoe brands. The black wasn't in display at the store but my SA said they have 1 in stock. Tried it and I love it! 
So many gorgeous Gucci loafers!
Just purchased my first pair of princetowns (red leather, no fur) but I'm unsure on the sizing and would love some advice.
Is there such a thing as going too big? I'm usually a 39.5/40 but I really didn't want my foot to hang over the side so ordered 40.5. Out of the box, they seem really long but from reading through the comments I can see that is pretty normal. I have probably just less than an inch in front of my toes but my heel is in the right place. I'm just worried as they soften up that I'll end up flinging them off as I walk around
Has anyone else been through this? Do they keep their structure as you wear them in?

Finally joining the club [emoji173]️ Almost went for the fur, but figured I'd get more use out of these in hot Florida.

I've had mine for well over a year, they've kept their structure and aren't even close to falling off. Yes, they are long, but my heel fits well on the back in .5 size larger than my usual. Wear them - you will love them!
I couldn't imagine owning the ones with fur and having my kitty shed all over them.
