socks & shoes (and a question)

[puregirlblue.livejournal.com]

I figured I could join in the fun, even though my shoes are just Hot Topic (but very cute and one of my favorite pairs) and I have no idea where I got those socks from. (The dress I made myself.)

After all this talk about shoes and seeing everyone else's, I really want to buy a pair of brand shoes. It's driving me a little crazy though. I usually wear a size 10, but I can dinitely fit into a size 9.5. I measured my foot, but it seems that every conversion chart I look at is different and everyone seems to be saying different things. Does anyone know definitively how to measure and buy brand shoes? I used this tutorial to measure my foot and came up with a 25.5cm measurement (which I thought would be okay for BTSSB shoes in a LL), but I read this entry in the memories that pretty much said I should give up hope. O_o I just want a pair of shoes... any help would be greatly appreciated.

yha i wear a size 8.5-9 and i know I fit into LL but i wouldn't suggest trying to fit in with any larger feet.

but there are lot's and lot's of chinese replica shoes being sold out there, many have larger sizes~

The added benefit to buying those shoes are that you can end up with two or three pairs for the price of one pair of brand shoes!

I was going to get in on the ling_liam group order, but with the recent post about sizing, that was my last straw. Does anyone have any reccomendations for sellers? And I'm still confused on if I'm actually getting my shoe size right... O_o

I happen to think those are some of the cutest shoes I've seen posted lately. ^_^

Oh wow, that picture looks so Innocent ^_^ Very Alice esq, do you have a picture of the full dress?

Thank you very much! *^_^* The whole picture is here (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/moonliteharpy/detail?.dir=1681re2&.dnm=ea8ere2.jpg"). You're the second person that asked. It's a horrible picture though, I need to take more.

I have these (http://www.babyssb.co.jp/shopping/shoes/129943.html) shoes. I usually wear a 9.5/10 myself, and I can get my feet in them and they don't hurt. Though, the nice round toe really helps alot. They're just a teensy bit short.

OMG!!! I LOVE YOU!!! *dies* I think what I've come up with is that everyone's feet are different and if I want those shoes I need to just bite the bullet and try them. If they don't work out I can always sell them back to someone else and I've learned my lesson. Thank you so much for your input though, it gives me hope!

yup. I had a friend who had bought them, and we were kind of close in size (I think she was around a 9) and they were too big for her, so I bought them.

I'm a 9.5-10 usually, and I found that 25cm shoes in Japan worked okay in most cases (though I had trouble finding them in styles that I liked). I haven't tried on Baby's LL size shoes yet, but I did try on Meta's L and they... "fit" but I wouldn't have been able to walk in them at all. So I'd say Baby's LL should be just fine for you if you're a 9.5-10 rather than a 10-10.5.
