Shoe Size Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit for Embroidered Footwear
When you buy shoe size guide, a practical tool to help you match your foot measurements to the right shoe size across brands and styles. It's not just about numbers—it’s about making sure your handcrafted embroidered shoes feel like they were made for you. Too tight and your toes ache. Too loose and the embroidery gets stretched or scuffed. The right fit keeps your feet happy and your custom designs looking sharp.
Many people assume their shoe size stays the same forever, but that’s not true. Feet change with age, weight, pregnancy, even the season. A foot size measurement, the process of accurately determining the length and width of your foot using a ruler or tracing method done at the end of the day—when your feet are at their largest—gives you the most reliable number. Don’t guess. Don’t rely on what you wore last year. Measure both feet. One is often bigger. Go by the larger one.
And here’s the thing: shoe sizing chart, a standardized reference that translates foot length into shoe sizes across different brands and countries isn’t universal. A UK size 6 isn’t the same as a US 6 or an EU 39. Embroidered shoes, especially those made by hand, often follow traditional sizing that runs slightly different from mass-produced sneakers. That’s why we include actual foot length in millimeters on every product page—not just a size number. If your foot is 245mm long, you don’t need to guess if that’s a medium or a large. You just pick the shoe that matches 245mm.
Width matters too. Most size guides only talk about length, but if your foot is wide and you squeeze into a narrow shoe, the embroidery will pull at the seams. Look for brands that offer width options, or check reviews from people with similar foot shapes. If you’ve worn our embroidered slippers before and loved the fit, stick with that size. Our shoes are made in small batches, so sizing stays consistent across collections.
Don’t forget to consider the sock you’ll wear. If you plan to wear thick wool socks with your embroidered boots, size up half a size. If you’re wearing them barefoot or with thin cotton socks, stick to your true size. The same goes for sandals—your foot spreads out when you walk, so leave a little room at the toe. A good fit means you can walk a block without your heel slipping or your toes hitting the front.
Our collection includes everything from delicate embroidered slippers to sturdy hand-stitched boots. Each one needs a slightly different approach to sizing. Slippers often run a bit roomier because they’re meant for indoor comfort. Boots, especially those with padded soles, might fit snug at first and soften over time. That’s normal. What’s not normal? Buying without knowing your real size.
You’ll find posts here that walk you through measuring your foot at home, comparing sizes across countries, and decoding what a ‘wide fit’ really means. We’ve also got real stories from people who ordered the wrong size—and how they fixed it. No fluff. No guesswork. Just clear, practical steps to make sure your new embroidered shoes feel like they were made just for you.
