MADISON SHOULDER CLARET
We make it easy to find the right size. This guide provides general women’s shoe sizing information and European size references to help you choose confidently. Because shoe sizing is not universally standardized across brands, European (EU) sizing is used as a consistent baseline, with fit varying by brand, style, materials, and construction.
US to European Shoe Size Conversion
| US Women’s Size | EU Size Reference |
|---|---|
| 5.5 – 6 | 36 |
| 6.5 – 7 | 37 |
| 7.5 – 8 | 38 |
| 8.5 – 9 | 39 |
| 9.5 – 10 | 40 |
| 10.5 – 11 | 41 |
| 11.5 – 12 | 42 |
Key Factors That Affect Fit
- Brand: Each brand uses unique lasts and sizing standards.
- Style type: Sneakers, loafers, flats, sandals, and boots fit differently.
- Toe shape: Pointed, square, and rounded toes change interior volume.
- Materials: Soft leathers, woven uppers, and unlined styles may stretch.
- Construction: Handcrafted and European-made shoes often fit more precisely.
- Width profile: Some styles run naturally narrower or roomier.
Easy Exchanges & Returns
Because shoe fit can vary across brands and styles, we make it easy to find the right size. Qualifying online orders containing an eligible non-sale item include a peel-and-stick return label. If your pair doesn’t fit, simply peel the label, place it on the box, and send it back. Once the return shipment is received, we issue your refund promptly so you can reorder the correct size with confidence.
Personalized Size & Fit Assistance
If you are unsure between sizes or have questions about how a specific style fits, our team is happy to help. Personalized guidance remains the most accurate way to ensure the right fit across brands and constructions.
