Starling Size Guide

The Starling

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.

The Starling Birdies are so comfortable that I own them in multiple colors. Felt so confident about those that the first time I wore them was for a full day of walking around the city, and they did not disappoint! Perfect sizing, no break in time and so very stylish!

This shoe is a slipper as well as a walking shoe. It's simply the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The traditional Starling is the way to go.

Absolutely love these shoes! They are so comfy and stylish. I bought the shoes for traveling in Europe as we had lots of walking planned and these shoes were perfect, casual during the day and still stylish at night. Highly recommend.
