1.70m/38 (UK 5)
but I am a girlie. I used to be several centimetres taller, but I think age means I've shrunk a bit :evil:
Many women in UK renactment seem to take size UK 7 (European 40) - I know this because virtually every time women are looking to borrow authenti shoes, my size 5s are not big enough as they are looking to borrow 7s. Wouldn't mind, but these women are normally around my height, or smaller and I used to assume I'd be able to lend them my shoes. I now peer at their feet first and ask what size they are before rummaging to find my spare pairs to lend. Shame really, as I have been called the Imelda Marcos of my group and normally have several pairs of shoes with me. Ooooh, I notice Armamentaria have some nice new 2nd century shoes. Good price too ... :roll:
