In many Spanish‑speaking countries it is customary to add a courtesy word such as 'por favor' or 'gracias' when asking for assistance. Also, remember that 'talla' can refer to both clothing and shoes, but when you specifically mean shoes you might hear 'talla de zapato'. Regional variations exist: in some places people say 'tamaño' for general size, but 'talla' is the standard term in retail.
