Sebastian Milano Shoe Size Conversion
Sebastian Milano sizes on the Italian scale, which is the same as the European one, so an IT 38 and an EU 38 are the same shoe. Coveti lists every pair in whole EU sizes from 35 to 42. The table converts them to UK and US women’s sizes.
| Italy and EU | UK | US |
|---|---|---|
| EU 35 | UK 2 | US 5 |
| EU 36 | UK 3 | US 6 |
| EU 37 | UK 4 | US 7 |
| EU 38 | UK 5 | US 8 |

Most styles fit true to size. On many pairs the house adds one note: between sizes, take the half size up. Coveti stocks whole sizes only, so in that case choose the next whole size. Measure the longer foot late in the day, when it is at its largest.

How to Wear the Rene Slingback
- Styling: Put it with straight jeans and a blazer for the office.
- Evening: Keep the rest of the look plain and let the heel do the work.
- Comfort: Wear a new pair around the house for an hour first. A leather sole grips better once it is lightly scuffed.
- Proportion: A cropped hem shows the whole shoe. A full-length trouser hides the vamp and shortens the leg.

About Sebastian Milano
Sebastian Milano began in 1970 as a small shoe shop in Via Gesù, in the fashion district of Milan. It made shoes by hand for the women of the Milanese bourgeoisie, and it became known for pairs made for occasions such as opening nights at La Scala. In 2018 Angelica Fagioli took over as brand director and relaunched the house. In 2023 it opened a showroom in a historic palazzo behind the Castello Sforzesco. Read the full story in who is Sebastian Milano.
The signatures are the tassel heel on the Fifi and the Rama, the sculpted metal Coco heel on the Louise and Karen, and the numbered editions. Since Milan Fashion Week in 2023 it has shown one new design each season in 99 numbered pairs: Muse, Dada, Eva and Devalle. Its motto, Fem for All, means its shoes are for anyone who wants to wear them, and the house cuts some styles up to EU 44.
“The Rene Slingback is made by hand in Italy, and it is a pair we suggest for an evening out with a simple dress. It is made in Upper black textured patent leather, lining nude leather, sole black recycled leather.”
