lamourestaveugle asked: So I am in desperate need of new hard shoes but I have never actually bought my own, I usually just have them passed down to me! Do you know where I can order hard shoes and how the shoe sizing runs?! Thanks!:D

I will provide links to different shoe sites at the end of this. The size of shoe you get will vary depending on the shoe brand you decide to go with, for example Rutherfords tend to run wider, the Fays more narrow, and the Hallmore somewhere in between. Your size will also depend on how tight you like your shoes to be. And if you’re like me and live somewhere other than Ireland your shoe size will be different, for example my shoe size is 8.5 US women’s but my Irish shoe size is about a 4.5-5. Many shoe companies also offer there shoes in “wide” sizes if needed. You can also always email the company to ask them about shoe sizing. 

you can order shoes directly from there sites:
