Size guide
ROUND LAST
The most important thing to know before reading anything else:
If you choose the wrong size, we’ll sort it out for you at no extra cost. Order the size you think is right, try your Dalmatáns on at home at your own pace, and if they don’t fit, we’ll exchange them for another size free of charge.
Keep in mind that the fit of Dalmatán shoes can vary depending on the embroidery density, the materials used and the way each shoe is assembled. Each pair involves a significant amount of craftsmanship, which can affect the fit. On each product page, we provide specific sizing advice for that particular design and colour. Use that as your main guide when choosing your size.
Quick Guide
| Model | Fit | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Milán (pointed toe) | True to size (sometimes slightly roomier) | Choose your usual size. Check the sizing advice for the specific design and colour, as some variations may fit a little differently. |
| Sintra / Menfis (round toe) | Runs slightly small | If you have wide feet, prefer a roomier fit or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. |
| Petra (new version) | True to size | We’ve slightly widened the shoe last, so it fits true to size or may feel a little roomier. |
Three Things That Can Affect the Fit
1. Your feet change throughout the year
-
Summer: Your feet may swell slightly, making your shoes feel tighter. If you’ll wear them mostly in summer and are between sizes, or simply prefer a less snug fit, you may feel more comfortable sizing up and using a half insole if needed.
-
Winter: Your feet may contract slightly in colder weather, which can make your shoes feel a little looser.
2. What you wear on your feet matters
-
Thin tights: Your feet may slip around a little more, making the shoes feel roomier.
-
Thick tights or socks: These take up more space inside the shoe, making the fit feel snugger.
3. If you get the size wrong, don’t worry
Size exchanges and returns are free in Spain and Portugal.
We’ll take care of everything. We want you to love your Dalmatáns, so try them on at home. If they don’t fit, we’ll arrange an exchange as quickly as possible, subject to availability.
GENERAL SIZING GUIDELINES FOR ROUND-TOE STYLES
Round-toe styles generally run snug, although some models may fit more loosely or more tightly depending on their construction and embroidery. Always check the specific product page for sizing advice.
Sintra / Menfis
The Sintra and Menfis ballet flats run slightly small and are not designed with a roomier fit. Both styles will stretch a little with wear.
-
If you always wear the same size and have narrow or regular-width feet, choose your usual size. If they feel too tight, we’ll exchange them for a size up at no extra cost.
-
If you’re between sizes, size up. For example, if you usually wear a UK size 5.5, choose a UK size 6.
-
If you have wide feet or prefer a roomier fit, especially on warmer days, we recommend sizing up. You’ll feel more comfortable, and you can always use a half insole if needed.
New Petra
We’ve slightly widened the shoe last to give this version a roomier fit. Choose your usual size. If it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
TABLE OF MEASUREMENTS
You can measure your feet (we recommend both) by placing them on a blank sheet of paper. Use a pencil to mark both the measurement of your big toe (straight across) and the heel (straight across). Take a ruler and measure it.
Here are the measurements for our shoes so you can see which one fits you best. These lasts are made in Spain with Spanish feet and sizes.
In any case, since we know that every foot is different, you can try it on at home and exchange or return it for free.
POINTE LAST
All styles made using this shoe last fit true to size, sometimes a little roomier. However, the fit can vary depending on the model, materials and production batch. Check the sizing advice on each product page to help you choose the right size.
SIZE CHART
You can measure your feet (we recommend measuring both) by placing them on a blank sheet of paper.
Mark with a pencil the tip of your big toe (straight down) and the back of your heel (straight down).
Use a ruler to measure the distance.
Important: since this is a pointed last, the tip of the shoe “doesn’t count.”
There will be approximately 1–1.3 cm of extra length in the shoe (and if your foot is wider, this height is slightly reduced).
