Quokk.auLadies, would you advise buying half a size smaller than your usual one for high heeled sandals?

my regular shoe size is US 11 (10.5 in, 26.7 cm), so I’d be buying a US 10.5 (10.3 in, 26.2 cm).
A coworker I know does this sometimes. She says its ok with heeled sandals and slingbacks, but not ok with pumps, because sandals and slingbacks are open.
What’s your experience? I really like that model and size 11 is sold out.
Personally I wouldn’t go smaller ever because you can get that weird toe-hanging-over-the-shoe thing, which just makes me uncomfortable…2 cents and whatnot
That’s half a size smaller if I’m reading your post right. Probably okay if they’re open-toed. The higher the heel the more your toes gets squeezed. Are you planning on wearing the shoes all day or for an evening/event only? What’s the return policy where you’re buying them?
correct, half a size smaller. Title corrected.
I want them to be as versatile as possible, so both events only and all day long. Would the smaller size be a problem?
I can buy em, test em for 4 weeks and return if not happy with them
My feet are narrow so I do this sometimes, to get a better fit in width, so they ‘stick’ and don’t just slide out the front. If your feet are wide don’t do it. And yes there is more tolerance in sandals.
