Cosy Island Buyer's Guide FAQ
Most customers should begin with their usual shoe size. However, the ideal fit may vary slightly depending on the silhouette, toe shape, upper material, and heel height. Always review the size information provided on the individual product page before ordering.
If you are between sizes, consider how you prefer your shoes to fit and the shape of the style you are purchasing. A roomier size may be more comfortable in pointed-toe, structured, or higher-heeled styles, while softer or more flexible shoes may feel secure in your usual size.
Yes. Slingbacks, sandals, boots, mules, and ultra-high heels hold the foot differently. Toe shape, strap placement, heel height, and upper construction can all affect how a shoe feels, even when the labeled size is the same.
Some structured styles may soften slightly after the first few wears. However, shoes should not feel painful, excessively tight, or unstable when first tried on. Breaking in a shoe should improve minor stiffness, not correct an unsuitable size or fit.
Choose a size that holds the heel and midfoot securely, and make sure any straps are adjusted correctly. A stable footbed and a well-positioned upper can also help reduce forward movement. Your toes should not feel pushed into the front of the shoe while standing or walking.
Suitability depends on the specific design. Open-toe styles, flexible fabric uppers, and less structured silhouettes may offer more adaptability, while pointed or highly structured styles may feel more fitted. Review the product description and size guidance for each pair.
Try them on indoors, preferably on a clean, soft surface. Test both shoes, stand naturally, and walk for several minutes. Check for heel slipping, toe pressure, rubbing, instability, or discomfort before deciding to keep them.
Review the current returns and exchange policy before purchasing. Shoes should normally be tried on indoors and returned in their original condition, packaging, and within the applicable return period.
