Size chart

Our shoes run larger than most other vintage production and fashion brands, however most customers have found that they fit their normal size in our shoes.

If you are a half size, please size down.

You can use the charts below to get an idea of which size may suit you best, however please keep in mind other factors like width and instep height also contribute to the right fitting size. We recommend choosing your normal size which you wear in similar upper-end fashion flats/heels (i.e. not fast fashion, sports shoes or Doc Martens style boots)

Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee a perfect fit and our guide below is only a guide. Many factors beyond just foot length contribute to a size, which we cannot predict perfectly 100% of the time. If you find that the size that you choose based on our chart is not quite right, please note that we do not reimburse you for the cost of return shipping.

      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 Singapore- 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, Elba or Singapore), 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).

        How to measure your feet

        Foot length should be based on the length that your foot reaches in a straight line - not from the heel to toe at a diagonal (see our Guide for Measuring Your Foot Length here).

        Why does my shoebox have postage labels and tape on it?
        To cut our cardboard waste by more than 45%, we designed a durable shoebox that acts as a shipping carton so there is no excess use of cardboard. If you order 1 pair of shoes, it will be shipped by itself with no extra box to contain it, meaning it will have some tape and postage labels on it.

        If you have ordered 1 pair of shoes as a gift or want to keep the shoebox in new condition to keep, you may request to have it shipped in an extra carton to protect it from postage labels. Simply click the 'Add' button next to 'Send as a Gift' in the cart.

         

        Do you deliver to PO boxes?
        Yes, but it may take a bit longer than usual to deliver

              Super cute and super comfy

              I got these for a special occasion and can't believe how comfy they are. I have fairly wide toes but they don't pinch at all and look great. The heal is super small so I can wear them anywhere! The packaging gave a great surprise as well - would buy again!

              Why Our Leather Shoes Feel Hard at First – And Why That’s a Good Thing

              We get it — you open your beautiful new pair of Charlie Stone shoes, slip them on, and... they feel a little stiff. Maybe even too stiff. But don’t worry — that firmness isn’t a flaw. It’s actually one of the best indicators that your shoes are made with real, high-quality leather.
