Oh.. how I long to fit into New Look shoes.. Btw.. does anyone know if it's possible for feet to shrink? Apparently I can't fit into size 3 shoes anymore. They're too big

Do you still fit into your OLD size 3's?
Size differs by maker. I wear an American 8.5 but I have to get a 7 in Converse Chuck Taylor's. Same with combat boots. I have to get a different size than I'd normally wear. Just putting it out there. Not saying that this is the case with you. I've never heard of feet shrinking though. |

i blame the manufacturers!! In the same way that clothing sizes have changed over the years, so the same goes for shoes.
Often i find size 3 shoes are too big - places like zara, office, next, moda in pelle - it's not worth trying anything on 'cos my feet just slide about and theres a huge gap at the heel! Again, the more expensive or designer makes are a better fit - it's not your feet its the rubbish high street chains!!

I'm a size 3, And I find carvella seem to 'understand' my feet. | ||

They are good! Same as Kurt Geiger; i think they are both under the same 'umbrella' company as you often get both together in the boutiques and concessions.
I have two great pairs from the closing down sale in Shelleys/Dolcis in manchester - £4 and £8 - bargains and beautiful!! |
