Ralph Lauren shoe size

[makaveli89]

Hello everybody,

I want to buy RL shoes. I am wearing NIKE right now and I got size US 8/ EUR 41. Ralph Lauren size for EUR 41 is US 9. On RL website, it shows Size 9 D. What does D mean?
and do you think that size 9 for RL is the same size like Nike's sz 8?

Thank you!

You are a size 10 US.

You are a size 11.5D.

Regards.

In U.S. shoe sizing, the widths are: A & B = Narrow, C & D = Medium, E, EE & EEE =Wide.

so what size should i get now? i don't get it. when you go to the size chart, it does not say something specific about D or E, EE or whatever. it just displays this right here: http://www.ralphlauren.com/contentPo...&showSizeChart

D refers to "normal" width.

so what size should i get now? im wearing nike air max size 41 euro/ 8 US right now.

you should probably get a size D or C. but that's just for ralph lauren shoes. it might be different for other shoe brands.

I assume you're getting a RL dress shoe, in general dress shoes are 1 size smaller than sneakers. Also don't rely on size charts which varies for each brand. For example most U.S based sizing state 42 EUR/ 9US, but it's more like 42 EUR/ 8.5US...

If you can't do that, try on some shoes by Allen Edmonds to find your size (& width) - remember the model name that you try on. Then come back here and give the information, people should be able to provide better help then.

right now im wearing nike air max. i want to know if eur41 for nike and eur41 for ralph lauren is the same, or in other words, id like to know if there is a huge difference between the sizes.

I would recommend comparing dress shoe sizes to dress shoe sizes. Sneaker sizes, especially Nike seem to be wildly inconsistent between models.

i suggest you to follow RL sizin chart, because i am living in europe and have size 43, and i buy RL shoes 10D which is exactly in size chart, and indeed i have other shoes they are all 10d. i am surprised that nike runs 2 size smaller. As one has already stated dress shoes runs small, but this is not general, i have Hugo Boss shoes which runs 2 size small but i have RL dress shoes and they are true to size, so it depends on the brand and RL fits true to size, so go for 9 imo.
and think also buying them in sale maybe not now but in the future, or check on amazon. I never buy RL if they are not in sale because i bought a shoe which normally costs 495 $ but it was in sale for 179$, but actually this pair of shoe is well worth for 179 $, but absolutely not for 495 $.
