Why are shoe shops listing a UK size 8 as a 42 now!? I thought my size 9 feet were a 42? Anyway I always feel duped into getting the largest size - 42/8 and they are always tight. And I always think ‘maybe they will stretch’ and they never do. And Clark’s stopped selling my fav size 9 brogues and the size 9s they do sell are all clunky black work shoes. I just want nice shoes that fit, is it too much to ask!!
