Quick binding fit question for my wife...

My wife wears a womens size 6-6.5 and I was thinking of getting some close toe shanes. Should I get her size 5-7 or 7-8? I figure since they are mens boots she should be okay with the size 5-7?

why are you buying her mens closed toe they make wing closed toe and melissa closed toe. women usually have to go down 2 sizes for mens shoes and their feet are narrower on average.

I have bigger feet than your wife and I'm pretty sure the 5-7 shanes fitted me fine... they may still be too big for her. buying bindings without trying them on is crazy. Every time I've done it I wished I hadn't later...

Thanks for the advice alice! My wife had the same issue about buying them without trying them on. She tried on a pair of company bindings that she really liked at our local boardshop, so I will probably get those for her. They are a bit more pricey but definitely worth having her be comfy.
