Is anyone different sizes in the hangisi pumps and hangisi flats? So far I’ve gotten a 39 in hangisi pumps but a 38.5 in hangisi flats. The 38.5 pumps could work but I know the moment my feet swell, my toes will be squished. The 39 is a little loose but my toes have breathing space and having a pad in the shoe makes it a good fit.

I tried Manolo Blahnik BB 70 heels in sizes 36, 36.5 and 37. The size 36 seemed too small at first so I tried the 36.5 but those were too big length wise. I ended up buying two pairs in the size 36 (one in nappa leather and the other in patent leather), which both felt snug but fit me well length wise. I do have a narrow foot and found them tight in the front, so if you don't have a narrow foot, you may have to go up half or a full size. For reference, I take size 36 in Chanel slingbacks and Prada heels and 36.5 in Mach & Mach.
 
Hi ladies, this is not so much a question of sizing but rather one of inconsistency in sizing. My Hangisi are all in size 37.5 - both the flats and 70 mm pumps. They all fit well with no issue. However I just bought another pair of 70 mm pumps recently in the same size, but they fit different! My arch does not conform to the “footplate” and this places a lot of pressure on my fore foot. I thought at first my feet might be swollen at the end of a long day, but then I tried on my other Hangisi pumps and I can confirm they fit different. I put them sole-to-sole and indeed the shape and curve of the soles are different. Is this a known issue, because these shoes are hand made? Even then I would think the “footplate” should be consistent for the same style, heel height and size. Anyone here with the same issue? For clarity, these are authentic
