How to choose your size
In most cases the size you normally wear in ordinary shoes is the right one — our shoes add height from the inside, so the sizing stays standard. If you want to be certain, measure your foot. It takes three minutes.
Casual and sports styles
Trainers and casual shoes. We list foot length, not insole length.

Between two sizes?
Choose the smaller one. Full-grain leather stretches with wear and moulds to the foot within a few days. A shoe that is too big will never shrink, and a loose heel causes rubbing.
Frequently asked questions
Does the height increase make the shoes tighter?
No. The lift is built into the construction and allowed for in the design — it does not take room away from your foot. That is why you take your usual size.
I measured 26.2 cm — which size?
Size 43 in casual styles, 42 in dress styles. That is not a mistake: formal shoes have an elongated toe, so the same foot length comes out one size lower.
Can I order several pairs in different sizes and send some back?
Yes. You have 60 days to return or exchange, so feel free to order two sizes, try them on at home and send back whatever does not fit.
Still unsure? Email shop@farettishoes.co.uk or message us on WhatsApp with your measured foot length and we will advise on the size for a particular model.
And if the size turns out to be wrong — you have 60 days to exchange it, and we pay to send the new pair out to you.
