USING OUR SIZE QUIZ 

First you will need to measure your foot length in mm (please try the method we recommend below). Then use the Size Quiz below to get our guidance on your closest size by size grade. 

For the question relating to width, please consider whether you normally need to stretch your other fashion shoes (like ballet flats, stilettos, block heels etc - not sneakers).

Please note this is only the guidance we provide based on our experience with our other customers. Due to different parts of the feet that may contribute to different fittings, we cannot guarantee that the size advice provided in our quiz is 100% accurate.

 MEASURING FOOT LENGTH 

Our method for measuring the feet may be a little unconventional, but we find this the best way to measure length on your own and with minimal inaccuracies.

 

1. Place your foot flat with the heel against a wall. Ensure you can stand up comfortably (i.e. make sure your heel isn't curled up against the wall making it seem shorter)

2. Using something box-y with a flat edge (like a tissue box or a yoga block), pop it perpendicular against your longest toe. Stand up to check your heel is comfortably against the wall and the object is touching your longest toe parallel to the wall.

3. Step away carefully then using a measuring tape, measure the length between the wall and the object in mm. Do it for both feet.

4. Use the lower measurement to find the size we recommend by grade

5. If you are unsure about width, contact us and we will try to help you find your best match


SIZE GRADES

To help understand how the fitting of each shoe runs, we have categorised them into 3 'grades'.

  • Grade 1: runs mostly true to size
  • Grade 2: runs a little large, around a quarter to half a size
  • Grade 3: runs very large, around a half to 3/4 size

When you do our Size Quiz above, note down our recommendation for your size in each grade - this will give you guidance on which size to consider when you are browsing at different shoes with different fittings

SIZING FAQ

Q: How do your shoes compare in sizing to other brands?
Our shoes generally run slightly larger than other fashion brands, particularly vs UK and US brands.   

Q: I'm a half size, what should I choose?
Please size down if you are a half size

    Q: I have wide feet/high arches/bunions/swelling - should I size up?
    Instead of sizing up, we normally recommend choosing a wide fitting leather style and spending time softening and stretching the upper. Our shoes run slightly large so if you size up, you may risk having a shoe that is too long. 

    Click here to see the different widths by style.

    Q: My shoes feel really tight! Should I size up?
    If they feel too tight in length, we recommend exchanging for a size down. If it is only the width that is tight, we recommend spending time to 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 will be too tight both length and width wise).


    WIDTH FITTING BY STYLE

    All of our styles fit the same length wise, but some designs are easier to stretch width ways or have a rounder/wider toecap. Please note that our vegan (v) styles do not stretch as much as leather.

    We recommend opting for a wider fitting style if you have:

    • Wide set feet
    • High arches
    • Bunions/injuries
    • Prone to swelling

        WAY too small width-wise

        These shoes are beautiful, but I am really disappointed with my experience buying from this company, mostly because of the inaccurate sizing information. I did all the proper measurements before ordering a pair of shoes, however I chose to go up a size than what the site recommended, and they were still WAY too small, especially width-wise. My feet are an average sized width, but trying on these shoes felt like being one of Cinderella's stepsisters trying to wear her glass slipper. My toes were scrunched right up to the front of the shoes, the width was super narrow, and the buckle couldn't even make it across my foot, let alone buckle. The company also doesn't tell you that if you want to return your shoes, you have to ship them back (with tracking) at YOUR expense to warehouses in either Singapore or Australia. There is an option to swap & sell, but this wasn't explained to me until after I had mailed back my shoes for a refund. In the end, after the return shipping costs, I'm getting back barely a third of what I paid for the shoes. I'm very disappointed.

        The best shoes, no others compare

        I have quite a few pairs of CS shoes, and I'm sure these won't be my last ones. I wear CS everyday and that won't change anytime soon. They are elegant, comfortable, of superb quality and easy to put on. Their customer service is amazing! I love Charlie Stone so much, that they were my first flats (I was a high heels only woman) and now, it's flats all day everyday.
        This pair is beautiful and one of my favourites along with the London model.
        Thank you for making gorgeous shoes!

        I love it

        I already had the brown shoes and was thrilled. These are of course just as great. They are very durable and have no flaws despite intensive use. I would be happy to see more vegan options.
