SIZING FAQ
Q: How do your shoes compare in sizing to other brands?
Most customers say our shoes run true to size, however if you are used to wearing fast fashion shoes like Zara and H&M which run small, our shoe sizing will feel larger than theirs. Compared to other vintage reproduction brands, our sizing is fairly similar. Please DO NOT compare your sneaker size to find your size in our shoes, as sneaker sizing is very different.
Q: I have wide feet/high arches/bunions/swelling - should I size up?
If you're not a half size, we normally don't recommend sizing up a whole size as this could mean you have a shoe that is too long for your foot. We recommend choosing one of our wider fitting styles - Montpellier, Elba or Peta - and spending time softening and stretching the upper.
Q: My shoes feel really tight! Should I size up?
If they feel too tight in length, we recommend exchanging for a size up. If it is only the width that is tight, you can exchange them for a wider fitting style (Montpellier or Peta), or you can stretch and soften the upper. Use our hairdryer+socks trick for an easy and painless method of stretching out your new shoes.
Q: My shoes feel a bit loose! Should I size down?
Move your feet forward so they feel comfortable in the front part of the shoe. If you have 1.5cm or more in the back heel, then please exchange for a size down. If you have about 1cm or less in the back, please use an insole or heel grip (a size down might be too tight both length and width wise).

Super cute, chic and comfy. Feels like high quality product.
Lovey shoes, loved them so much I wanted a 2nd pair before they sold out, but I really wanted my 2nd pair in a bigger size and unfortunately they had sold out… pretty please make these again in different colours too.
I ordered a size 40 which fits me with all other shoes and this one doesn't fit me
Hi Ariella, so sorry to hear your Alba shoes did not fit you! If you still have the shoes and their original packaging, please feel free to contact us about a size exchange. We have a returns address in the US now for easier returns :)
The Alba design exudes romance and sophistication. Unfortunately, the pair I received was too tight due to a manufacturing error. Danica was considerate and quick to offer a solution, especially as my size was no longer available for replacement. Charlie Stone has by far, the most exquisite designs, but the customer service is above and beyond. I have the utmost joy to say I will be a happy lifetime customer of Charlie Stone. I cannot wait to add more incredible designs to my collection. xx
Great quality and super pretty. They fit perfectly and once you break them in they're very comfortable.
