I have never tried anything on. I would ask the seller for measurements in the size you are interested in.

Good shoe sellers always include this info, IMO.

or ...should anyhow

 

You should call downtown Nordstrom and see if they carry Vivienne Westwood. They have a lot of designer shoes in their Salon Shoes section. Does the awkshin say anything about sizing?

 

^I haven't seen them there yet, but I'll give them a call just in case

The auction gives the sizing, but some designers tend to run bigger or smaller than the "norm", so I'd hate to buy a size 38 (US 8) and have them be too small if Westwood tends to run small, ya know?

 

Hmm, yeah 38 tends to be a 7.5 to 8 in european sizing. But I know what you mean...it's risky especially with spendy shoes.

 

Oh, I just thought of another idea. Try Barneys downtown too. They might have VW shoes!

 

I don't know if this will help, but last year I tried a pair of Vivienne Westwood for Nine West on. They ran pretty true to size. But I don't know how her ownline runs.
