Order the styles you would like to try and a sole message, we will add the message to all the styles and you can keep the suitable pair or pairs and return the others for a refund, if you keep more than 1 pair with a message we can deduct the cost of the extra message.
Sizing
The shoe sizes on the products are listed as UK, US, EU, AU and the length inside the shoe in cm’s. Please check the size chart for other international size conversions.
In general our shoes tend to come up bigger than standard US sizes, we would recommend trying 2 sizes with insoles to check the size. For example, if you are US7.5 order the UK5 and UK6 with insoles (they can be used if you are between sizes, they help if its half a size), if you select courier two way shipping this includes the return to send back the unsuitable pair. If you only want to order one size we suggest measuring the length in a similar pair of shoes (same toe shape and heel height) or book a virtual appointment we can help you.
We don’t make half sizes, we would recommend buying our insoles, we have 2 types, half insole and full, the half work in sandals and open styles, the full are suitable for a closed shoe.
This sounds like you require a full size down, in general the lengths between sizes are about 7-10mm bigger or smaller. We can exchange shoes.
This sounds like you are between sizes, we suggest trying insoles.
If the style is just snug you can try to stretch yourself, if you wear the shoes with thin socks this helps, you can move up to thicker socks as this increases the stretch. If this doesn’t work enough (it will work up to a point as the satin or suede and the lining is leather, all natural and will naturally stretch) we offer a stretching service, this costs £20 and takes approx. 7 days, it will increase the width at the front by half a size, the stretch can be for all satin and suede styles. Please email for us to arrange this for you: contact@harrietwilde.com
