Size Charts
As you know sizing differs not only from country to country but also by designer. In order to simplify things we have taken the time to interpret the various British, French, Italian and American sizes into a standardized size run below. Most of our shoes are Italian sizes. Should you be unhappy with the fit of a particular purchase you can return that item, or exchange it for a different size. Please follow the instructions listed under Returns.
