Could't possibly do that, but hearing Catrin, who is quite petit, wearing size 10 makes me wonder what the heck I'm doing.

I tried on a pair of men's Sidi's in a 43.5, and they fit. The 43 were too small. There didn't appear to be an issue with the heels in Sidi's. Just the price tag!
Ya know, I STILL can't see myself as "petite" I've long feet with a narrow heel, and sizing has always been a bear for me. My shoe size ranges from an 8.5 to 10 depending on who makes the shoes and what type they are. This is just wild to me, but there isn't any standards.

I've been told that Sidi and Mavic are European style, which means a more narrow heel. I don't know about that, but I do know the Mavics fit me better than any other bike shoe I've owned or tried on. I am afraid to try on a pair of Sidis, trembling even (that is actually my checkbook trembling).
