Foot sizes, 168-E and 170-H in particulair
So I've got an WM-158 myself, for which the feet were specified about 21.5cm, but were actually shorter (don't remember how much exact).
Anyway: I've seen some different number on the feet length for the 168-E and 170-H models. If any of you have these, would you please be so kind and measure the feet?
I am wondering because while shopping for shoes, it occurred to me I might want to keep possible future feet into account
*thinking of goings size with 22cm feet length right now...

The TPE in dolls feet are a little more squishy than human feet (compare to your own feet if you want) so they can generally fit at least 2 and maybe 3 sizes of shoes. One option is to get shoes that should be large enough (sounds like 6/4/37-38 to you), and use socks, booties, or other fillers to make the fit better.
I've actually found shoe width to be more important than length. With longer shoes, the dolls feet can usually still hold to the shoe if laces or straps are tightened up. But if shoe is too wide, her feet can shift around enough that her balance is no longer centered and she can tip over. High heels that are too wide are dangerous.

You make some good points. But I am now looking at a bit open shoes so socks (well guess I could get socks specifically for this) are not really option for me. I think 37 will be to large tho (high heels) with the feet (toes) beeing squishy as you pointed out, more thinking of getting 35's.
Just noticed that the charts on AliExpress are wayyy of from the first google hits. Even tho they mention EU / US size, the tables are just different in regards toe foot length...kinda shitty. The ones I'm looking at now are specified 22.5cm feet length and size 4.5 / 35...or 22cm 4 / 34...
Got 1 pair of 35's out of a shop here; they were def. bigger than necessary tho. Considering these ones btw:
