Shoe size contrary to common belief is not formalized between brands and usually only refers to the shoe length not its width or volume. In my experience as a cobbler shoe size is largely a suggestion. It is possible to stretch shoes, some better than others but the attempt certainly can made. End of the day If its the wrong size your body will tell you
nice, a cobbler :D
does this mean the same nominal size can mean differences larger than half an inch in length? 0.25 in?
In this case, the seller provides both the sizing and the shoe's length, explicitly stating to trust the length more than the sizing, that's why I'm giving it a shot.
Now I'm curious. How would you stretch this stiletto sandal? see below
With that amount of openness, going down half a size will be doable. Where you may run into trouble is if the little strap across your toes will be too tight. What's the return policy?
