  • It's always important to remember that different shoe companies use different lasts to make their shoes. Some are larger or smaller than others and some have a different foot shape. The only sure way to know if a shoe will fit, is to try it on.....Payless Shoes does provide a measurement in inches for length and width for each size shoe. Once you have found a size that fits, for a brand, you can safely assume that other shoes in that size will fit you....but you may need to go up a half or full size for heels to fit comfortably if you tried a flat or down if you tried a heel and want a flat. They also sell inserts that will make a alightly too large size fit. A Payless 11 is too short for me but a 12 is too big....the insert in the toe makes it fit just right.

    However, using a conversion chart can make it easier for you to narrow down other countries sizes to a few choices to try. Do not scuff up the bottom of new shoes if you want to return them for a different size, try them out on a rug or clean inside floor.

  • Stephanie,

    Nice site with some great shoes in larger sizes. Their handy Women ordering in Men's sizes chart is equally useful for Men ordering in Women's sizes, though they don't mention that, lol.
