Mens shoe sizes versus ladies
I need some help please

Usually I wear velcro type of sandals when walking the dog and I need a new pair urgently  , preferably 2 as I tend to wear them out quickly .

Problem is that for some reason shops don't have their summer stock instore here , I usually get the smallest mens size or last time I think I got a boys size 6 bt I'm not sure?

As I'm a small size 7 more to a 6 in ladies shoes , does anyone know what size to look for in Men's or Boy's ? I'm trying to get a pair here but it's hard to narrow it down and I'm not bringing up any items that I want so I need some help searching for them .

( don't post what you have , just help me with the size/search tips and then I'll do a Wanted post)

I've found mens shoe sizes are two smaller than a ladies. So for example, I'm a ladies size 11, so I often buy a mens
size 9 in sneakers, as you can imagine finding a ladies size 11 is daunting. I'm not sure they make mens shoes in sizes
4 or 5, so you would be probably looking at boys.

My word you have little tootsies

If you do a WANTED, make sure to ask for length of sole in the listings, as sizes can vary so much, Marian
