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

Usually, size 43 with a G or H last from Gabor fits Maria’s foot well. This ballerina model was a surprise! Size 42.5 fit Maria’s foot comfortably despite the narrow F last. Size 43 felt too roomy. Ballerinas should fit the foot just right, not too loose, or they won’t stay on. The slightly rounded toe felt comfortable, though the width was just a tiny bit tight at the little toe of the right foot. But the leather will surely give a bit in width. Lovely, soft, and beautiful shoes!
