Technical Shoe Information and Glossary
We carry a huge selection of styles, some of which vary slightly in their sizing. If we know a shoe tends to run large or small, we'll add that information to the product description. We do not carry ½ sizes in any style at this time.
Because we offer shoes for both women and men be sure to carefully check the description and size selection. To convert Women’s sizing to men’s, please add two sizes. For example, a Women’s US Size 10 would be the same as a Men’s US Size 8.
The opposite is also true to convert Men’s US sizing – a Men’s US Size 8 would be the same as a Women’s US Size 10.
Our shoes and boots are only available in whole sizes - order the next half size up if you are in between sizes. All of our sizing is in US sizing. Please see our Size Chart for international conversions.
When purchasing open-toed high heels shoes, it is normally recommended to buy the same size you wear in a flat shoe. When buying closed-toe high heels, it is normal to purchase a ½ size larger than your normal flat shoe size. Since most of our heels are only available in whole sizes, please order the next largest size.
Try on your shoes indoors on a carpeted surface--this will protect the soles of the shoes in case you need to return or exchange them.
If they do not fit, exchange them for a difference size! You pay to send the shoes back to us, and we will send you the size exchange at no charge. Click here for exchange information.
What is the difference between Patent, PU, Stretch and Leather material? Patent (Pat), has a very shiny, almost mirror like appearance and is a man-made material. PU, short for polyurethane, is a semi-shiny to non-shiny (dull) man made material designed to look like leather. Stretch, either patent or PU, is a thin, stretchable material, which allows it to fit to the contours of the feet or legs. Leather, usually having a supple and comfortable feel and with a texture pattern, is considered by many to be the highest quality material of all used in shoemaking.
