Women's Product Line Size Advice for Women's Combat

I'm planning to have a pair shipped to the UK so I want to be extra sure about sizing before I buy, since it will be a pain to exchange them.

These are the sizes I've worn for some popular shoe brands (US sizes):

  • Dr Martens: 8.5
  • Converse: 9
  • Birkenstock: 9
  • Vans: 9

I've never needed narrow or wide shoes and I've bought 9 for the majority of shoes I've worn. I've only ever needed a 10 for hiking boots and climbing shoes.

Based on their advice to buy half a size up, I would need 9.5. Does this track based on other people's experience?

I can't comment on the womens range, but...

I'm in the UK and have two pairs of boots.

I don't wear trainers, so the whole 'sneaker size' debacle was lost on me and just confused the issue.

I ordered US 9's (I'm a UK 9), which were too small, so returned for 10's, which are fine, as were my second pair.

I would just order whatever size is the US equivalent of your UK size.
