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).

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!
these shoes were as nice if not nicer than their picture. The shoe sizing/measuring guide was very helpful as I bought a pair half a size less then usual and they fitted perfectly. The soles are very comfortable and while the shoe looks flat it has a little internal elevation which works really well for dancing. I would thoroughly recommend these shoes
I've tried Charlie Stone shoes several times but have struggled to find the right size/fit. I had high hopes for these as I measured my feet and followed the instructions on the website. I also ordered the suede version thinking it would be easier to stretch them if I needed to. However, the vamp section where the cutwork is, wasn't wide enough and pulled so tight across my feet so even trying them on for a few mins was painful. I have a bunion on one foot but it was the same issue on both feet. It's such a pity as it's really hard to find green coloured shoes.

These shoes are lovely. I have had so many compliments when wearing them. They took a little longer to wear in that previous C.S. shoes, but the blisters were worth it! And they are super comfortable now. And go with so many things. I'm already smiling sweetly at my OH to get my next pair...
