Have I properly listed the size of these shoes?

Dear Folks:

I rarely sell shoes, but have some this week.

Not sure if the size on the soles is US or English.

I know that one pair of Prada boots is marked 7.5 on the sole but fits my 8.5 feet.

Here is a pair of Gucci shoes:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1277&rd=1&rd=1

They are listed as a size 10. Should they be a size 11?

Here is a pair of Prada shoes:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1340&rd=1&rd=1

They are listed as a size 12. Should they be a size 13?

Measurements are in each listing.

Thanks for any help.

gucci and prada have their own independent sizing, i find gucci sizes more truly than prada, but they both are not really consistent over their shoes.

prada is known to size very large, i have to wear (if i have to wear prada, in theory) a size 8 or 8.5 for my size 10 feet sometimes

gucci i own several pairs and i either wear a 10 or 9.5 . depends.

you really have to put down the internal and outsole measurements of each case by case shoe on their auction along with the labeled size.

to claim a size without providing accurate measurements gives room for the buyer to file a dispute against you for inaccurate descriptions.

Thanks for your reply. But my question is, does the sole-stamped shoe correspond to the US size or the UK size?

The one pair of Pradas I own has the UK size on it, which is why I ask about the ones at auction.

i know that gucci and prada both come in US sizes here in the states that i have seen.
but it may be the case if they were from the european market, they have a UK sizing labeled.

i say that because , for santoni, Edward green and ferragamo, all have US market shoes stamped with US size, and their european counterpart with the UK size.
as i believe.
