Hello folks,
I recently purchased an e-pattern for some nice slippers or "room shoes" as the designer calls them. She is a woman from Denmark I believe, living in Canada. I live in Scotland. My sister and her daugher live in Alaska. All these places have different shoe sizing!
I am a size 6 in the UK and I think an 8 1/2 in the US. So my feet are bigger than my sister and my niece. I would like to make them some "room shoes" for Christmas, but can't figure out what size to make for them. For myself, I can put my bare foot on the various patterns in the instructions and work out which one to use, so it doesn't matter which "size" that is, if you see what I mean.
I wonder if someone who wears an American size 7 would kindly take off their right shoe and sock, trace round their foot and then measure how long their foot is in millimeters for me? That would really help. The same kind service from someone who wears and American size 7 1/2 shoe would be nice too! I think it would be best if you put your heel on the bottom edge of the paper, put your foot straight on the paper (not diagonal or at an angle) and then just measured from the bottom edge of the paper up to the end of your big toe.
Any takers?
