   Are UK women’s shoe sizes the same as UK men’s shoes sizes? Asking for a friend, who is me.

     @considermycat in principle yes, but women's specific shoe style sizes tend to run small

     @considermycat I discovered this during a brief "I can get second hand designer gear cheap so I'll treat my femme-sona" phase.

     Not all size 7s are equal, especially if you have wideish feed.

     @considermycat as you're already into large size specialist shoes, you're more likely to get accurate sizing, but you genuinely need to go and try things on if possible.

     (Also, DMs are generally accurate, even after they changed factories, so a cute pair with roses embroidered on them or smth is a reasonably safe bet.)

     I did google this and apparently they are, but are they *really*, or would I need to go up half a size to be on the safe side? (I’d already be looking at brands specialising in “the larger foot”, being a size 9 and having very wide feet)
