Sizing Concerns
Shoe sizing is different than traditional US sizing. Keep this in mind when placing an order. Women's sizes run from 3 to 11 UK and men's run from 7 to 12 UK. In general, to convert UK sizing to USA sizing, add three sizes to your UK size for the USA equivalent. For example, if you wear a woman's USA size 7, your UK size would be 4.
