I really love these shoes, the look and style are amazing. As for women's shoe sizing, I usually use a US 8 1/2, so add the size using the chart, assuming I started with a 7 1/2 and did what they suggested. for wide feet, add a size for high arches or similar. I ended up with 9 1/2 gentlemen. So. they are still not wide enough and if I lace my shoes too tight, my feet will bruise. So I probably should have taken an extra size as they didn't have large sizes. After a while of wearing they will stretch and make room for my hobbit toes. My suggestion is to use the table provided and then increase the size for good measure.
