Tape seams of my ccp leather jacket just ripped apart. Just along the back or shoulder, but I'm now worried about all the seams. Any suggestions on who could fix this and what can be done. I'm thinking of replacing all the tape seams with thin leather strips.

What shoe in particular? They follow IT sizing, so an 8.5 would be a 42 or 42.5 I think?

Women's sizing and men sizing is a whole different story.

Thank you for your reply.

I usually wear size 39 but Ssense doesn't sell 39 and LVR womens is more cheap regarding import fee.

What I'm worrying about is 'will womens 39 size be small to me?'. How do you think?

if sizing is your major concern then I think it would be wise for you to contact LVR directly for insole/outsole measurement of the shoes and compare them with the shoes you already have.

LVR response really fast, and they also have a return policy in case the sneaker didn't fit you as well as it suppose to. I hope this help you out as I am not really familiar with converting women sizing to men myself. Good luck.
