Hope that helps? I also take a 40 in Stans if that is a better indication? In M&S shoes, I'm also a 40 but they call that a 6.5 (whereas I think most people call it a 7 no? It's M&S and Next that are different as far as I can see). All clear as mud?!<br /><br />Oh and I should point out that I have the Superstars so whether the Franceys or their newer styles are different sizing i'm not sure. But I have two pairs of the Superstars and they are both a size 40.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874946171943263803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-236469766007132622016-09-26T09:08:06.625-07:002016-09-26T09:08:06.625-07:00Now I have not tried on the Common Project ones at...Now I have not tried on the Common Project ones at all....<br /><br />With winter tights.. hmm personally I don't think I would. I know people do but I have a mental block still with black tights and lighter footwear. However I would (and will) happily wear good old American tan tights (they have come so so far forward!) in the Winter with midi or maxi skirts or dresses. When it comes to mini skirts, I'm not sure I'd wear them with trainers and whilst I would perhaps wear a dress, in the winter for every day, I think american tan tights are too cold!!! (and my legs too pasty and doughy underneath them. There is NO way I am doing fake tan under tights - life is too short).Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874946171943263803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-82955079036409741512016-09-26T04:34:08.998-07:002016-09-26T04:34:08.998-07:00Hi Kat,

I bought the Superga with the slim sole for the summer and love them. Now I need a winter/leather version. I have wondered about the Stans and Goose but they look like having quite a round toe with the lace starting quite low too and very well could make me look like a child being petite. I noticed when the tip of the trainer is slightly elongated and the lace starts higher than it seems to elongate the leg. You don't have to worry about stuff like that being tall but us petite suffer!! :)<br /><br />I am really wondering on the Common Project all white trainers. They sell them in a market near Picadilly Circus and going to check them out. Have you ever tried them on, what were they like?<br /><br />Another thing I would love your advice on is how to wear trainers in winter say with black skirts. I would wear black tights with normal black shoes but somehow it feels wrong with white shoes. What colour tights would you wear with white trainers in winter?
