Shoe size question

[IceAngel]

HELP.

A friend of mine is buying this for me as a gift:

http://www.tukshoes.com/ProductImages/old_images_big/T1015.jpg

And she's shipping it to me directly from the order site itself, so I won't get to try it out. Now the problem here is that Creepers are all in men's sizes, so uh, my regular Women's size 8 won't work here. I'm an exact size 8, although 8.5 can do but 9 is a bit of a stretch, and 7 would mean very uncomfy. Would a men's size 8 be any different, or should I just get a men's size 7?

Help the confused, please. T___T Thanks in advance to any of those who answer!

yes. Try their online shoe size conversion or get a size smaller from the men's.

Not all shoe manufacturers run true to their sizes & it is always good to try the shoes before buying them.

The convinience of buying online has its disadvantages and this is one of them. It's good to buy online if you already know your fit for that brand.

if your shoe size (women's) is 8, subtract 1.5 from that to get the equivalent size in men's shoes, so it's 6.5.
