High heels with block heel - Alice Big Dots, black and white leather

The shoes have a so-called G half-width last, meaning the width is somewhere between a medium-wide G last and a wide H last.

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 26.5 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Maria's choice would be size 42 from this absolutely lovely model. The length felt suitable and so did the width. The insole is soft, as is the low block heel, which feels good. In size 42 the toes were a bit cramped at the tip, but size 43 still felt too big for Maria, slipping at the heel. Maria would trust that size 42 would stretch to fit with use, since they are leather shoes. Such beautiful lovely shoes!

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

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• The toe line is evenly slanted, meaning the toes end 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

Size 40 is okay for Sanna, but still a bit roomy. Luckily, half insoles and other aids have been invented! These beauties feel nicely soft on the foot!
