How do I know what size I have, and what size to order?
How to measure your feet:
To determine the correct size, it is best to measure your feet in the evening. After walking and standing all day, your feet are at their largest at that time of the day.
Naturally, when determining your size, you should also take into account whether you have bare feet or whether you will be wearing tights, stockings or socks in the shoes. We recommend that you order slightly larger rather than too small. If the shoes are a little roomier, you can always compensate for this difference by putting an insole or gel/foam cushion in the shoes.
Step 1: |
Step 2: |
Step 3: |
Place one bare foot on a sheet of A4 paper
|
Draw the outline of your foot with a pencil. |
Use a ruler to measure the distance (in centimeters) from the outside of your heel to the top of your big toe.
|
After measuring you can take a look at the conversion table to see which size is corresponding to your foot length.
If you are between sizes, we usually recommend rounding up the size for a closed toe-type, such as a pump or boot with a closed toe. With styles such as sandals, where the toes and/or heel are 'open', we recommend rounding down because you will have more room in this type of shoe.
Order the size you normally wear, we already take into account how a model fits (large, small or according to size).If the size deviates from our normal converted sizes, we will explicitly inform you about this in the product description. |
Where can I find your sizing and conversion table?
You can find them in two ways:
| You can find a horizontal button on the right side of most pages (both on your mobile and on a computer): | On the page of a product itself you can find the conversion table ("Maattabel/Maatvoering") above the "Add to cart" button: |
 |
 |
Boot dimensions:
The calf circumference, shaft circumference and shaft height of boots can be found in the table on a product page.
The specification table on a product page contains a lot of information about the shoes. The indicated dimensions in the upper part of the table depend on the selected size; so make sure you have selected the correct size to see the correct data.
The table will look similar to this: In the upper part you can find the calf circumference, shaft circumference and shaft height in centimeters:
NB:Please let us know if you have already taken into account a smaller or larger fit of the shoes so that the ordered item won't be purchased two sizes too large or too small. You can notify us in the 'Special instructions' section in your shopping cart:

General information
I import most items especially for you from the USA, Poland or Slovenia. The average delivery time is 1 to 1½ weeks (within the Netherlands) but this can also be longer. This is an average delivery time, therefore it's not a promise or guarantee! Please keep that in mind!
Please note:
*When returning multiple items that have been purchased for you, I always calculate the costs incurred per individual situation. The amount that is deducted and what is converted into shop credit therefore depends on the actual costs that have been incurred and concerns a reasonable compensation for the losses suffered **The charges only cover the costs incurred in purchasing and importing the items from America; no standard cancellation fees or restocking fees that cannot be substantiated or explained will be charged. More about the reasonable compensation can be found in this Dutch text here en hereThis applies to: |
I would prefer not to have to charge these costs, but in order to cover the costs (losses) I have incurred due to the increasing number of returns, this has unfortunately proven necessary. To limit the number of returns (please think about the environment too) I would like to ask you to think just a little longer about your purchase, to make a well-considered decision and, if you are unsure, to ask me for advice or help!
For a single exchange for a different size, these costs will not be charged. You can read more about this in the Terms and Conditions and Refund Policy.

Sizing and Dimensions
See how you can calculate your size using a conversion table on our information page: "How do I know which size I have and which one I should order?"
To view a conversion table and see which sizes & dimensions we use, you can use the size chart, which you can find in the following two ways:
On every page (both on your mobile and on a computer) you can find a button for a size chart on the right side, which looks like this:
On all product pages you can find the button for the table above the "Add to cart" button, which looks like this:
Our shoes and boots come from the USA and have American sizes (1 inch = 2.54 cm).
These dimensions have been converted to the Western European size that we use in the Netherlands, Belgium and other EU countries. Our converted EU dimensions differ from those of our American supplier stated on the box. Experience shows that shoe sizes US-12 and up in particular are larger.
Order the size you normally wear, we already take into account how a model fits (large, small or according to size). Sometimes we explicitly inform you about this in the description.
If you are between sizes, we usually recommend rounding up the size for a closed model, such as a pump or boot. With an open model, such as a sandal or peep toes (where the toes and heel are 'open') we recommend to choose the smaller size.
If you want to order a specific US size, please select the desired US size indicated in the sizes. We always order the corresponding US size stated; the corresponding EU size determined by us may therefore differ from the EU size stated on the box.
Of course you can always ask us for advice about which size you need: info@kinky-shoes.nl
If you would like to know the shaft circumference, shaft height and calf circumference of boots, you can calculate these for your size (for an explanation of how to do this; view our information page about calculating the circumference). Use the following data sheet for this:
