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.
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).

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.
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 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.

I love these shoes, so comfortable I can wear all day and dance away. Lots of compliments too.
