Okay, so I’ve been obsessed with Manolo Blahnik shoes lately. I mean, who isn’t, right? They’re just so darn pretty! But the big question was, what size should I get? I don’t have a store near me that carries them, so I couldn’t try them on in person. Bummer.
So, I started digging around online. I read a bunch of stuff, and most people were saying that Manolos usually fit true to size. That’s good to know! Some folks mentioned that they like to go up half a size for certain styles like the Maysale mules or the Lurum heels, just to have a little extra room. I thought about it, and I might do that if I ever get a pair of those, since my feet tend to swell a bit during the day.
But before I committed to any size, I figured I should measure my feet, just to be super sure. I grabbed a ruler and stood up against a wall. First, I measured the length of my foot, from the back of my heel to the tip of my longest toe. Then I measured the width, across the widest part of my foot. I did this for both feet because, you know, sometimes one foot is slightly bigger than the other.
I found out my feet were different sizes! Then I checked some size charts specifically for Manolo Blahnik. I compared my measurements to the chart, and it seemed like my usual size was indeed the right one.
I noticed some tips saying if you buy patent leather style you need to pay attention to the size, I kept that in mind. I haven’t bought Manolo shoes before so I do not have any experience.
Finally, I took a deep breath and ordered a pair online. I went with my usual size, sticking to what most people recommended. It took a few days, but when the shoes arrived, it was like Christmas morning! I ripped open the box and slipped them on.
And guess what? They fit like a dream! They were snug but not too tight, and they felt so comfortable. I was so relieved that I got the sizing right. I mean, returning shoes is such a hassle, you know?
So, there you have it, my little adventure in finding the right size for Manolo Blahnik shoes. If you’re thinking about getting a pair, I’d say start with your usual size, but definitely measure your feet just in case. And maybe consider going up half a size for those fancy mules or heels. Happy shoe shopping, everyone!
