Everyone should get their feet measured, as they may change in size over the years. People often wear the wrong size, usually too small. Mine increased from a 5 to 6 and became even wider. I think, like TillyTrotter, they've spread.
Men's shoes always fit me - as it's only women who are expected to have dainty little feet. FannyCornforth, my wrists and ankles are very small - with big, wide hands and feet - very fetching!
Funnily enough, in an Oxfam ‘Superstore’ near a dd’s house, I found a pair of ‘different’, unusually styled brown leather lace-ups, in a sort of very short boot style. They were shelved with the women’s shoes, looked brand new, and although they were a size 6 - I usually take a 7 now - I tried them on anyway.
They fitted fine and were extremely comfortable.
Once home I looked up the brand - which I’d never heard of - and realised that they were actually men’s shoes!
I’ve worn them loads for walking and traipsing round the shops, etc., and they’re still blissfully comfortable.
