The message
from " contains these words:


Remember add +1 to your UK shoe size to get the equivalent US size
(widths are the same I believe).

For shoes add +1. But that's not necessarily true for boots unless
you're in the habit of wearing several pairs of socks simultaneously. I
always found that I took the same size in boots as in the UK, though
shoes always, as you say, one size larger in number in the US.
