The size charts that say 5=36 are rubbish, but once you get past size US8, it's pretty common to go up a half or whole size (assuming +30 as baseline).Keilexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829409796775187413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-27356053657134538322012-08-01T17:02:39.129-04:002012-08-01T17:02:39.129-04:00In addition to my above comment, I wanted to let y...In addition to my above comment, I wanted to let you all know that Boden has now issued its fall line. Many of you saw it in the preview back in June, but now the mini Boden, Johnnie b, and the Men's line are updated as well.<br /><br />I have only received one item from the fall line, and it happens to be a dress that I already own in another colorway. (Of course, lol.) Having said that, I do love the fall version of the Riviera Shirt Dress, so if you would like to see it in action, <a href="http://mysuperfluities.blogspot.com/2012/08/boden-riviera-shirt-dress-fall-2012.html" rel="nofollow">check out my latest blog post.</a> <br /><br />Hopefully I will get up a new Boden Review Roundup before the end of the week, but it is not likely to happen before late tomorrow. :Pdinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-73707946721966699332012-08-01T16:57:37.299-04:002012-08-01T16:57:37.299-04:00shopmurphy--I always size down in Boden.

I took a chance with the patent mary janes and purchased a 41, hoping that the strap allows me to tighten it if need be, but I wouldn't be surprised if when I get them they are too large. I will then just exchange for the 40.<br /><br />I wear a size 9.5, but I have an exceptionally narrow foot, so bear that in mind. With Boden it is more often the width that is too large, not the length.<br /><br />Hope that helps!dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-74998741817956043572012-08-01T16:24:53.433-04:002012-08-01T16:24:53.433-04:00Thanks for the heads up on Garnet Hill's fall ...Thanks for the heads up on Garnet Hill's fall roll-out!

I'm usually a 6, and the 6 from them was quite loose. I put in some heel liner and then it was manageable but still in no way snug. So I'd say you want to size down.

From past seasons, I do recall that the Canvas website puts new season arrivals on their website a week or so later than the regular LE website - so maybe by the end of this week or early next week new arrivals will be up. Also - Garnet Hill has updated their website today with new fall items - some nice things as well and decent prices (lower than JC) on their cashmere.Elizabeth in MOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574483242838510359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-74392102240905070562012-08-01T10:23:35.696-04:002012-08-01T10:23:35.696-04:00Talbots has some great shoes on super duper markdo...Talbots has some great shoes on super duper markdown!
