This post was supposed to go up as a mobile post from my phone when I was away in Kent but it didn't so here it is…
>>I had a fairytale moment yesterday but it wasn't a Disney affair where I got the tiara, fluffy gown and supposed happy ending (did anyone ever find out whether they all had happy divorce-free marriages). No, I was Cinderella's ugly stepsister. A make up artist should have swooped in at that moment to stick some prosthetic moles and boils on my face. I had bought a pair of vintage Salvatore Ferragamo gunmetal/olive patent loafers from eBay that arrived yesterday only to find that they just wouldn't fit on my clumsy ogre feet. Though they were advertised on site as UK 5.5 me thinks they are in fact a US 5.5 and now I have a teensy pair of neat and shiny loafers that are staring redundantly at me. A sign that patent loafers and my intended outfit of feather skirt,
slouchy grey sweater and mens long johns are not meant to be. Or a pertinent reminder from the ancestors that perhaps feet-binding isn't such a bad thing afterall.
P.S. Anybody up for slipping their more delicately-sized feet into these shoes, please let me know in the comments. First one to speak up will get them provided they pay for P&P from the UK. Remember, they're sized US 5.5 so that's a UK 4, UK3 EU 36 EU37 EU36 Ack, I have no idea but they are teensy tiny!…
i would like those.
how much ?
UK4 is EU37 no? that sucks, hope you find another pair your size
^Ah yes…. so it is…will correct!
Mzria: You need to leave an email address1
Maria: No cost just post and packaging cost to wherever it is you live from the UK…
Gah I hate that! Same thing happened to me with the most amazing pair of Chanel boots, i could have wept!!

actually it’s smaller than a 37.. more of a size 36.. sorry
especially when vintage..
buhuu
hello susie – if maria’s not having them – I’d love them. you can mail me at sharmin.nordien@gmail.com to arrange delivery and all that – s
oh no! Id be so mad/sad!
I’ve done that so many times! haha. It’s so tormenting.
I hope you find some new ones!
x x x
him i do have 36, 36.5 feet size, i don’t know if they still in market 🙂
They’d be more like a size 36, not 37 methinks.
It is always a drama with the US, UK, EU sizes and I am never sure to get the right one when I order an UK or US size because in Germany we use EU. I wish there would be conform sizes in every country.
i want them then !
sen me an e-mail and i can pay the costs via paypal
yay !
I believe a US 5.5 is actually a UK 3 or so. I’m a US 7 and a UK 4.5 so I think that’s about right.
Disappointing, but the picture is very funny!
Haha look at you trying to fit into that thing. 😀

I am that size, i live in Spain, everyone is tha size here! I can never find shoes!
🙁 what a bummer… i was just thinking how much i missed loafers!
They will be a size uk 3 it’s usually 2.5 sizes bigger in the U.S, I am a uk 5 but a U.S 7.5.
My sister has the (well, almost) exact same shoes Susie.
GAAAAD. wish I were a woman

Oh dear LOL. My feet is same size as yours UK 5.5, something with my body statistics all measured halves. i.e height 5 ft 3.5, waist 27.5″, boobs 33.5 weight…lets not even go there.
Well. That’s my size excactly. Don’t know if you’ve sent them elsewhere already. But u can email me: pernille.eckhoff@gmail.com
Hope u found some nice replacement shoes;-)

Cute shoes! They actually do look like something from a disney/red riding hood story. And you don’t have ogre feet – I am a size UK 8 LOL. xx
Oh deary! Two things I refuse to buy on Ebay are shoes and jeans. That way disaster lies! If only I could get the message through to my D who is forever sending me ‘what about these?’ links to vintage Levi’s and Bass Weejun loafers. No, I tell you!
US 5.5 is around a UK 3 and maybe like a IT 35.5 and FR 36 Something like that. They should be able to fit me then! I hate having small feet…I very rarely find pretty pumps that fit me.
If they were incorrectly described, you have grounds to claim a refund. If the seller definitely described them wrongly and they won’t let you return them for a refund, it’s PayPal dispute time!
hey, i still want them ! my feet are size 3, 3.5 here in the uk ! they will still be good to me !
the mzria (first comment) was me being to quick and forgetting to put my e-mail.
thanks
OMG That’s my exact size (I’m a UK 3 and EU 36, so hard to find shoes that fit) and I’ve been looking for something like those! Please if it’s still available let me pay for it ^^ It would make my week Susie!
