  Annie can I ask you a question? How do you walk??? Is 1/2 size smaller a typo? I think I would die if I did what you’re doing! lol

  You buy heels a half size too big so that there is room for your foot to slide forward and your toes aren’t crunched at the bottom of the shoe when you walk. It depends on the brand of course, but in general, the rule is you should usually aim for a 1/2 size bigger than what you normally wear.

  Try it! I think your feet will be a lot more comfy in the future! :)

  That may work for some styles, but whenever I get shoes that are the slightest bit too big they rub on the heel, or they slip off the heel, or my toes end up over the edge of an open toe, or all three. The only way I can see this working is on a closed-toe shoe if you also add a back of heel pad.

  I can’t FIND any shoes half a size too big, I already wear a size 11! Anyway, whenever I get heels I always have to put those grip things in them anyway to keep my toe from bunching at the bottoms and making it loose around the back and slipping off. I don’t think having them any bigger would help that!

  I also buy mine 1/2 smaller and I’ve tried 1/2 bigger but then the shoe just slips off! esp. when there’s stairs

  If you can, just try buying a wide width instead of going up a half size. That way, you foot has room to expand out, but the heel won’t slip
