Manolo Blahnik - Sizing

[fatefullotus]

Size up from your US size by 1/2, and size down from your euro (non CL) size by 1/2.

I have wide feet in the front and narrow heels, and normally wear size 7 (or European 37) in all of my shoes. Occasionally I go up 1/2 size if the shoes are really narrow. For me, the Sedarabys run big. I wear 37 or 37.5 in Manolos, but I am a 36.5 in Sedaraby. Every sales associate who has helped me told me that this is common. I don't know why the Neiman website says they run small, because they definitely do not run small. I wouldn't even say that they are true to size.

thank you everyone for your advice. I have ordered them in raspberry in a size 39.5. I cannot wait til they arrive!!

Can anyone advise re Manolo's sizing? I'm pretty much always a 39 but have never owned any MBs

Which pair of shoes? Depends on the shoe. D'orsays run very TTS; everything else is generally 1/2 size up, but not always. Are you trying to size the Fieno sandals you posted in the authentication thread? Those run about the same as typical Manolos--1/2 size up. I took mine in a 38 and I wear either a 37.5 in d'orsays and 38 in all other Manolos. 39 might be tight but since these are a slingback you may be able to make them work. I would email the seller for an insole measurement and go from there.

You guessed right - lol
Thanks for the advice. I have trouble sometimes with sling back straps slipping so I wonder if these would be ok. I'll go ahead and ask for the insole measurement

 

[meggyg8r]

I have trouble with that sometimes too. An insole measurement is definitely your best bet! Good luck!

^ I have to agree with that! I have some slingbacks in a 38, but when I ordered some manolo d'orsays in a 37.5 they were tooo big!

Blahnik pumps run true to size for me, with the exception of his open-toed d'orsays, where I wear a half-size smaller than usual.

 

[75Jules]

Thanks guys that helps.
Going by the insole measurement the shoes I have my eye on should fit

 

[sdesaye]

I wear a US 8M and take a 39 in MB, except d'Orsay's then a 38.5. I need at least a 10" insole.

I usually find MB running from half a size too big to TTS (US size) depending on the style. For the d'orsays such as Sedaraby, I have to wear half a size down. For the closed pointed toes, such as Hangisi or Campari, I have to get half a size down as well. For his mid/high heel thong sandals or slides, I wear TTS.

I am getting a pair of these for work. I am a size 8. Should I buy an 8 or size up to an 8.5?

I own a pair of Guiseppe Zanotti shoes and I am an 8 in that line. Would I be an 8 in Manolos?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this will help... I am a 9.5 and size up to a 40 in both GZs and MBs. On the plus side I find MB sizing consistent (I have been 3 different sized in GZs).

 

[Samia]

I have 3 pairs of MBs all are 8 and TTS for me
