Lastly, I have a pair of closed-toe, ankle strap sandals where I went larger but only because it was the last pair available.

I also own a pair of 12cm Mira Bella peep toe sandals (from a couple of years back) in size 38 but only because I did not want my toes to stick out too much through the peep holes. One of them are ankle boots because these need to be worn with socks and and Loubs tend to have a narrow fit so they are more comfortable in a larger size. In my collection there are only three pairs of Louboutins where I went ½ size up. Even though some of their styles are known to be quite tight, especially the pointy toe designs, I have never felt the need to upsize in them. To me, Louboutins have always run true to size, although I am aware that opinions on the fit in this brand differ. I own several pairs of Louboutins, predominantly high heels in styles such as Pigalle, Simple Pump, Piou Piou, Decolettes, to name a few, but also some kitten and small block heels. Unsurprisingly, only one of the two pairs bought had the right fit. After trawling through numerous sites and YouTube channels, and gathering only limited information on sizing, eventually I had no choice but to rely on sheer potluck. In this case, I decided to splash out on pairs from brands which I have not tried before. But even as I managed to bag a couple of shoe bargains, the process has brought back the same dilemmas that I have always been facing when ordering footwear online, namely sizing and fit. Having spent the past two weeks in self-isolation, I could not help but engage in some online retail therapy, especially with so many fantastic sales around. However, while withdrawal and procrastination are the natural compulsions in times like these, I have finally decided to shake off the feeling of inertia and, instead, focus my attention on lighter and more uplifting subjects. It has been a little while since my last post but the gloomy world news of the past few weeks have been quite distracting and unconducive to fashion blogging, at least in my case.
