Shoe Sizing

[zjones]

I am finding myself somewhat frustrated with the sizing in Coach's shoes. I'm a 9.5 in men's and something like a 10.5 in women's--but they don't *make* a 10.5, it just jumps from 10 to 11. Ordered the Grand Loafer and it arrived today. When I tried it on in the store, my heel slipped completely out of the shoe, so obviously, they're going to get returned because they just don't fit. I'm afraid a 10 is going to be too small and/or uncomfortable. The Crosby drivers fit fine at an 11, and some shoes I can slip into a 10 and they're fine, but I've had two pairs now where my "usual" size has been so big I slip right out. It's just a bit frustrating, because there are so many nice styles I probably can't ever get because they randomly chose not to make a half-size between 10 and 11. >.<

OR, do you know a way to reduce heel slippage, if there is one at all?

Thanks for letting me rant!

Preaching to the choir! I too am technically A 10.5 and not every company has that size. I have some 10's and some 11's with Coach shoes, it depends on the style for me. Frustrating.

Have you tried those gel inserts from preventing your heel from slipping? I believe dr scholls makes them; but I’m sure other companies have them.
