Stockings sizes - vary slightly by each maker. Do not go by your shoe size. The size of the stockings that you need goes by the length of your foot from toe to heel. So if your foot is 9-1/2 inches long, you would wear size 9-1/2. If you are in between measures, like 9-3/4 inches long, then go up to the next size - since some vintage stockings do not stretch.
Length is measured from top of stocking to bottom of heel.
