Manolo Blahnik - Sizing

[JRed]

Thank you so much, Shoefan and CMAT!!

if you typically size half down for the sedarabys, you should be true to manolo size in the carolynes. that's how it is for me.

anyone know how these run?

Like most Manolos, they run narrow in the toe box. Go up .5 size.

If you have normal feet, then I suggest you get your true US size. I have wideish feet and MBs usually run TTS for me.

My DH bought these for me in a 37.5 and I normally wear a 7. I have wide feet also. The backs slide off my heel constantly. I would recommend your true size.

Has anyone tried on this Mary Jane style, Mladari? I bought them in my size, and even though my feet are fairly narrow, my right foot fits a little tightly. There is visible toe cleavage, and you can see my toes cramping a bit... It's not terrible (or so the DH says), but I want to be able to wear the shoes as comfortably as possible for as LONG as possible. Should I size up a half size?

I fell in love with these shoes, but with hearing how sizes run a bit small, I just wanted to get input as to what size a US 9 should order in this shoe? I have both 40 and 41 in European shoes (non-dress shoes), but I'm not sure if those rules apply to Manolos.

Thanks for your help!

Those run TTS. I am a US 7.5 with wide(ish) feet and I take a 37.5 in those.

I find they run TTS to slightly big. I used to wear a 37 in my older Manolos, but in the last couple of years, I swear he is doing vanity sizing as well. I'm now wearing a 36.5 consistently in his closed toe styles, including the Campari and the newer MJ with the strap that runs lower on the foot. I would buy your usual Manolo size.

For some reason, my patent MJs were even a bit big with my usual Manolo sizing.

I agree, some new styles are running large. I now take 37 on many styles, not just d'orsays.

I have those. I am a 7.5 in US shoes, but I wear those in a 38

I am a US size 9 and I have these shoes in a 39.5 - I like to have a little room in the toe box since they are pointed.

Just as an FYI, I wore mine yesterday for 1.5 hours (no walking) and I wanted to cry they were so painful. They fit wonderfully, but these are not comfortable shoes.
