Sizing

I make fairysteps shoes in sizes UK 3 to UK 8 (no half sizes) as limited edition stock and made to order. Footwear is made to a standard D width fitting, but my styles have been especially designed to be adaptable for various width fittings. See each item description.

How to measure

You will need a metric tape, a sheet of paper, pencil and a wall. Use the diagram below to take your length measurement, then compare to size chart below to find the perfect fit. Leathers always give with wear, so an initial snug fit is desirable to allow for this.

NOTE: Customers always 'size down' in fairysteps shoes, so as a general rule, order one size down from your usual commercial shoe size, eg: usual size = EU 39 / UK 6, order size = EU 38 / UK 5 If you are a half size, go down to the next full size below.

Place a sheet of paper and your heel against a straight wall. With pencil held upright, mark the longest toe. Do this with both feet as they are often different lengths. Use the longest measurement as a guide. If you are ordering boots it is advisable to wear your socks when measuring, for shoes, feet should be barefoot.

Interior finished size of SHOES:

UK 3 - Length: 23.8 cm  
UK 4 - Length: 24.7 cm  
UK 5 - Length: 25.6 cm 
UK 6 - Length: 26.5 cm 
UK 7 - Length: 27.4 cm 
UK 8 - Length: 28.3 cm

Example; my foot length measurement is 25.5 cm and I am a high street shoe size of UK 7. I wear fairy shoes in size FS 6.

Overseas Sizing Conversion Table

UK 3 / US 5 / EU 35.5
UK 4 / US 6 / EU 37
UK 5 / US 7 / EU 38
UK 6 / US 8 / EU 39
UK 7 / US 9 / EU 40.5
UK 8 / US 10 / EU 42

Conversions are approximate, don't forget you will need to measure up before ordering to check your sizing on the chart. A customer who wears a US size 8 would choose a FS 5 when ordering.

Please note: Customers are responsible for taking accurate measurements following the detailed instructions given. I can only give sizing advice with the information you provide, and even then, on occasion you may have to pay to return footwear for a refund. Feet are fickle things and sometimes only actually trying on footwear can tell you if the fit feels right for you. I do not offer exchanges, instead please return your initial order which I will then refund (minus the initial & return postage costs), and then reorder suitable replacements should you wish to.
