Our Fashion Needs: Shoe Size Conversion

So many ways of measuring those shoes, but how can you tell what shoe size you are exactly?Let us help. Here is a shoe size chart and a few tips to make life easier for all fashion addicted girls.



How to measure your feet

1. Place a piece of blank white paper on a hard floor.
2. Stand on the paper bare feet (don’t kneel, stand normally on both feet and bend over to mark).
3. Holding a pencil vertically, place a mark at the end of your heel.
4. Place another mark at the tip of your longest toe.
5. Measure your other foot using the same method.
6. To find your size, measure the heel-to-toe mark in centimetres.
8. If you find one foot's measurement larger than the other, always move up to the larger size.

What if you are in between sizes?

If your measurements are between two sizes, our advice is:
1. If you know you have a wider foot, go for the next size up.
2. If you know you have a rather narrow foot, go for the next size down.
Tips and tricks for those in between sizes:
- If you find that one size is just a little bit to small for you, but the next one up would be way to big, than what you can do is get the smaller one and have it stretched in a shoe repair store. The same thing goes for those who have wider feet and find most shoes are a bit to narrow to be confortable.
- If you find that one size is almost right, and the next one down is way to small and uncomfortable, it may be a good idea to slip in the shoe either a gel cushion (such as Party Feet) especially for the high heels, a full feet gel cushion (for the boots usually) or even an arch support cushion. Any of those would also add extra comfort to your feet!

Suede Shoes and Boots - How to Clean Suede

 

Suede is so in fashion right now, but suede products always need a refresh every now and than for that brand new, fresh look.
So how do you keep your suede shoes looking as new even after you have been wearing them every day for a few months? It is not as difficult as one may think. Here are a few tips:
  1. Before wearing your new suede shoes, we recommend you to spray them with a suede/ nubuc spray that you can usually find in supermarkets or specialized stores. This will keep dust and dirt from penetrating deep into the suede.
  2. After wearing them, brush your shoes with a hair brush (natural hair brushes are the best) until you remove the dirt and dust on them. Clean the brush after.
  3. If there are any spots, you can clean them with a piece of cloth and some soapy water. Let them dry normally, not near any heating sources.
  4. To refresh the colour or eliminate some stubborn spots on the suede, a great idea is using an eucalyptus oil spray! Hold can approximately 15 cm and evenly spray the surface of the shoe. Leave for 1-2 min and then brush the suede again with a clean soft brush. Repeat if necessary.
Now that you know how it is done, hope you will fully enjoy the trend!
