• Allow for c. 5mm extra 'wriggle' room for your toes.
• Higher heels will put higher pressure on your toes.
• Round toe shapes leave more room than pointed toe shapes.
• Measure feet at the end of the day when they are largest.
• Everyone's foot is different, try to choose styles that match your foot shape.
• Make sure that the ball part of your foot fits snugly into the widest point of the shoe.
• Don't choose a size that fits tight and hope they will stretch later.
• Select a size that allows your feet to fit in easily with minimal slipping when walking.
• Take plenty time to try your shoes at home on a carpeted surface to make sure they feel right.
• Lower heel are better to wear over long periods.
• The generally accepted max height for 'reasonable' comfort is 7cm.
• Over time the 'conditioning' of your feet may allow you to wear higher heels but this 'training' period may take some time.

SIZING

Sizing of shoes is by nature a somewhat inexact process. Styles of shoes can effect `fit` considerably (for example point-toe high heels will `fit` very differently to flat round-toe boots in the same size).

Also individual foot shapes greatly affect fit (for example one person with size UK 6 feet may have much longer toes than another person who also has size UK 6 feet).

For this reason we expressly offer no guarantee whatsoever that shoes in the `correct` size for you will fit.

Unfortunately physically trying shoes is the only way to discover if a size in a certain style will work for you. It is for this reason that we happily allow customers to buy even hand-made-to-order shoes in multiple sizes and to return for full refund any of them still in un-worn condition that they don't want to keep for up to 30 days from receipt.

By agreeing our terms and conditions you agree to accept that fit is not guaranteed.
