HOW TO SELECT THE SHOE SIZE?

  • Measure your foot length, check the size written on your most comfortable shoes, and compare it with our shoe size chart.
  • Consider buying the same shoe size you usually wear.

WHAT SIZE STANDARD IS FANTASMAGORIA SHOP FOOTWEAR?

  • We use the European unisex shoe sizing system.
  • We sell footwear based on the brand's European marking.
  • All the footwear we sell is true to size, and sizes match the standard European sizing.

FANTASMAGORIA  CUSTOMERS' FEEDBACK ON SHOE SIZES BY BRAND:

  • Killstar shoes match the EU sizing. If in between sizes, customers say the larger size fits better.
  • Demonia brand matches the EU size. However, unisex & wide front designs run slightly larger, so if in between sizes, customers prefer the smaller shoe size.
  • New Rock & Steel boots match the EU sizing. Some customers size up for comfortable wear.

INBETWEEN SIZES?

We recommend choosing a larger size for comfortable walking. It is healthier for the foot when the shoes do not feel tight.
If the purchased shoes are slightly too large - insert the additional insole.


Are you shopping for combat boots?

Combat, biker & cowboy boots are usually heavy. Your feet will feel good in comfortably loose shoes.

Are you shopping for high-top boots?

If you have wide ankles & larger calves - consider ordering one size up.

Are you shopping for narrow-toe pointed boots?

If the shoes you chose have a pointed toe or narrow front, and you are in between sizes - always choose the larger size.


HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT?

  • Measure the distance between the most prominent toe and the most prominent part of the heel.
  • Foot length is measured when standing barefoot, and the body's weight is equally distributed on both feet.
  • Be sure to have both feet measured. Many people have feet of different sizes. We advise purchasing a shoe size based on the larger foot.
  • Measure your feet at a similar time as when you wear the footwear. For daily footwear, fit yourself when you've been on your feet all day because your feet have expanded.
