Hi Fashion truth,

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for creating and doing a wonderful job on the comparison on similar items and giving a chance to others to express themselves. I'm not sure whether i should write this in to you,but I didnt know who else to tell this to.

Actually my frustration is with those online stores which suddenly decide to sell shoes too and do not really give accurate info. I am not sure whether they have really done their stud and homework on the art of selling shoes for example checking on the sizes and also the height fo heels, and giving the accurate answers to customers.

i've encountered more than 3 shops which have given me wrong informations which in the end I can't wear the shoes

The first shop (Shop A) gave me wrong info on the size as well as in the height of the heels. The size although not accurate was ok, as my feet could enter it but had slight crampped feeling. But the info on the heels part was not bearable as it was actually nearly 4.5 inches and what informed was 3.2 inches.Although its not much of a difference but for people who are already tall, it does matter.

Second shop(Shop B) also gave wrong info on heels height. But am flexibel when it comes to the heels part as somehow it can be tolerable. But the ultimate was when this particular shop (Shop C) confirmed to me that the particular size stated on its blog is exactly the vincci size tht i am wearing. The shoes sizing looked a bit different than the usual ones i have seen on other blogs, but assuming shoe sizes did vary I still decided to check with them. When emailed, they said it perfectly would fit..no worries and confirmed that those were the exact vincci sizes. But guess what? When the shoes finally arrived , my feet couldn't even enter them. The best part is, just an apology and they are done.All these shops try to compesante is by saying, we woud find a buyer for you...and that would never ever happen. I was so terribly dissapointed.

My question is how could these shops be so careless and have the don't care attitude when it comes to shoe sizing?

Clothes are fine as it can be altered or something can be done. But shoes? I truly hope that they would check 101 times before stating blindly and confirming 100% to the customers on the shoes being exact vincci or nose sizes. Vincci and nose sizes are same and consistent all the time or at least at most times. So don't come and tell us customers that our we are mistaken on our own shoe sizes and we have mistakenly given the size. Our feet coul not have grown overnight,rite?

That is why we double check and yet these shop owners claim positively that they follow the standard sizes.

Well, they don't!

In my opinion the blogs have sizes which come close to original vincci or nose sizes:- (Mezzanine, Clothesbucket, Oh Popsicles, Autumn Closet, ByBinnie, Kiss & Tell)

To shoe blog owners:

Please do some study first and don't let us down, We customers so look forward towards buying and wearing them shoes as we have gone through the hassle of checking, inquring and confirming with you the seller. And we have so much trust and confidence in you, and when it arrives all the hopes and trusts are dashed when we can't wear them. Its a waste of time and money.

Lastly, Thanks to FT and the blogs I mentioned above!
