I'm in the UK and ordered these in size 38 EU (advertised as US as US 7-7.5 women's but running half a size small) on the internet to wear with my 'Correct Toes' spacers before I realised that not only have I been wearing shoes that are too narrow all my adult life but also too short by at least 1 UK size or more! I'm currently trying to rehab my feet, and in the two weeks it took these to arrive I had learned so much that I knew they weren't going to fit.
I love the shoe, though, so despite having just bought a pair of NB Minimus locally, I'm thinking I will ask them to exchange these, but now I'm not sure what size to order. The comparable shoes I currently own are a pair of Vivobarefoot Kali in 39 (UK 6 US 8.5) but the NB Minimus are actually size 40.5 (7 UK 9 US). I suspect that the band across the metatarsals of the minimus may have pushed me up a size to get the width, so I'm thinking that with the wider Lems toe The Kalis are maybe a better guide. My current foot length as far as I can measure it seems to be just a bit short of 24 cm which is about 9.45".
That makes me think US 8.5, which would be a Lems 40 in Primal 1 or 41 in Primal 2 according to their chart here: http://www.lemsshoes.com/Womens-Primal-2-Frost_p_81.html (and I don't think they have any 40s in the Primal 1 left, which was why I didn't order two pairs to start with.)
Does anyone else wear any combination of Lems and the other two shoes to compare or have any other advice?
Thanks
