Buying shoes online from China - sizing help

Hi!

I am step-mother of the bride and I'm helping her source things for the big day (October 21). We have finally found a pair of shoes she wants but they are coming from China (although the company, Stacee's, appears to be in the UK, I'm fairly certain China is where they will be made). She wears a size 6.5 US normally but according to the company's size chart, going by the cm measurement, she would be smaller than a size 3 US!

I know ordering from China isn't the ideal but she was very specific in what she wanted - things like burgundy color, closed toe, round toe, short heel - not many wedding sites carry burgundy shoes.

Has anyone ordered online and if so, did you go by the size chart? That is, did you order your shoe by the actual measurement of your foot or did you order your usual size?Thanks!

    I am getting married that same day and I would avoid ordering from China at this point. I ordered my shoes from Denmark because I just HAD to have them and I am so glad I ordered early because it took them a while to get here and there was a whole sizing disaster. But if she HAS to have that pair order a few different sizes.

    BTW, I have been telling her for three months she needs to order her shoes. I know time is extremely short.

    Enchanted thank you for the links but they don't ship to Canada. The Amazon ones are lovely but they are also from China so aren't I back to the same issue?

    Susan - I suggested Shoes of Prey but she wanted more embellishments. I still think it's an option and I can decorate them for her. Maybe not like the shoe I posted

    but they wouldn't be plain.

    MelisaHH - I looked at loads of Dyeables but somehow missed these! Are they a reputable brand?

    Kristin - they are too high but thank you. And congrats Smiley smile

    Future VC - The first link, they are too pointy and the second, she doesn't want any patent leather. I did see some on Amazon, but again, they were all from China so

    I'm back to square one, if ordering from China is the issue.

    "All you have to do is search. It's not up to us to find these shoes.... if you don't want our advice, don't post on here."

    I didn't post, expecting anyone to search for me. My initial question was purely about sizing advice when ordering from China. I have done a ton of searching online.

    Have spent hours and hours doing so. The only reason I asked for anyone for the names of reputable sites, is because I received unsolicited advice, telling me that I

    shouldn't order these. And note, I asked for reputable sites, not actual links to shoes. I don't expect anyone to search for me.

    But yes, you're right. Obviously this wasn't the place to come for advice because while I am grateful for the help I did receive, I don't need to end my night being told off.

    Lesson learned.

    Thank you to everyone who was kind and helpful. Have a nice evening.

    I suggest buying white shoes and having them dyed.

    I ordered a pair from Amazon that came from China (similar situation. Wanted purple shoes with specific details). I just used the reviews to size them. If that's not possible, then I would go by their chart. ETA: The ones from Amazon also came about 2 weeks before Amazon said they'd arrive.
