The Starling
Velvet, Suede, Crystal:
The Starling is our most universal fit and comes in many colors and fabrics. True to size, some find it slightly wide so we recommend narrow feet size down as well as those between sizes. Please note, velvet has a little give while suede fits more snugly in order to mold to the shape of your foot over time.
Cable Knit:
While the Starling is our most universal fit, these cozy sweaters for your feet are slightly more snug. The cable knit is super soft and will mold to your foot with wear. We recommend sizing up if you have a wider foot or are in between sizes.
The Heron
The Heron fits true to size and is the preferred flat for narrow and medium-width feet. Slightly slim through the toe and heel, in between sizes should size up. Please note, velvet has a little give while suede fits more snugly in order to mold to the shape of your foot over time.
The Blackbird
The Blackbird fits true to size, especially in length. She’s a little more narrow in the toe so we recommend sizing up if you’re in-between sizes. Please note, both suede and calf hair fit more snugly in order to mold to the shape of your foot over time.
The Vesper
The Vesper fits true to size, like a glove. The Vesper is lined in breathable twill, which results in a lighter-than-air loafer that molds to your foot for a sock-like fit. And yes, they still have the 7-layer comfort you love. We recommend sizing up if you have a wide foot or are between sizes.
The Goldfinch
The Goldfinch fits true to size, all the way to the tip of the chic pointed toe. Every shade of velvet, suede, and leather has a very similar fit across the board. We recommend sizing up if you have a wide foot or are between sizes.
The Swift
Leather:
This Swift fits true to size if you plan on wearing them with socks (she loves a no-show sock). Without socks or with a more narrow foot, you may want to try a half size down.
Suede:
This Swift fits true to size. The suede will mold to your foot so we recommend skipping socks or wearing no-show socks.
The Cardinal
Seashell, Ice, Mica:
This Cardinal fits true to size and is made to wear with socks. If the fit feels loose, we recommend a thicker sock. If you have a narrow foot, you may want to try a half size down.
Floral Plaid, Navy Shimmer, Orbit, Shearling:
This Cardinal runs a little small, so we recommend going a half size up. We designed the non-shearling styles to wear with socks but If it’s lined in shearling, feel free to skip the socks. If the fit feels loose, we recommend a thicker sock or tightening the laces.
The Roadrunner
The Roadrunner fits true to size, so we recommend getting your usual size and wearing socks. If the fit feels loose, we recommend a thicker sock or tightening the laces.
The Falcon
Suede:
This Falcon fits true to size, so we recommend getting your usual size. We like them with low-cut or ankle socks or you can even skip the socks all together.
Faux Fur:
This Falcon runs small, so we recommend sizing up if you plan to wear socks or are in-between sizes. We like them with low-cut or ankle socks or you can even skip the socks all together.
The Swan
Bracelet:
This Swan fits true to size. With the pointed toe, you may have to go up a half size for a more secure fit. The bracelet fits slightly snugly to stay in place with every step. It’s a favorite shoe for narrow to medium-width feet.
Non-Bracelet:
This Swan fits true to size, so we recommend getting your usual size. It’s a favorite shoe for slightly wider feet.
The Songbird
The Songbird fits true to size, so we recommend getting your usual size. If snug at first try, they will mold to your foot over time.
The Phoebe
The Phoebe fits true to size, so we recommend getting your usual size. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, you may want to go up half a size.
The Dove
The Dove fits true to size, so we recommend getting your usual size. A favorite for narrow to medium-width feet, as wider feet may have a slightly snug fit.
