Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Maria’s size choice would be 43. Size 42.5 might be better in length, but Maria’s wide feet require size 43. There was room for the toes, but the narrowness of the F last was felt around the middle part of the foot near the shoe’s zipper. Of course, the leather would stretch with use, especially in width. Such nice-feeling, cool shoes!

Sanna the merchant’s narrow/medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• The toes form a gentle diagonal line – the tips go in "length order" 😊
• Usually wears size 40, sometimes 39 or 41 depending on the model
• Slightly narrow F width or medium G width
• Length of the longer foot 25.2 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 9.8 cm

Sanna’s choice would be size 40, which felt suitable in every way, both in length and width. The height of the model over the instep also felt good on Sanna’s foot. Sanna has a narrow heel, so in this model the heel felt a bit loose as well. Sanna removed the insole and tried a thinner one, which helped the heel settle better into the heel cup. In this Gabor model, the insole is a couple of centimeters thick at the heel. Lovely ankle boots!
