What dimensions/sizing does Party-shoes use?

Our shoes and boots come from the USA and have the American dimensions/sizing (1 inch = 2,54 cm)
These dimensions are converted to the West-European sizing, what we use in the Netherlands, Belgium and other EU-countries. Our converted dimensions and sizing differ from the sizes our supplier uses, and the sizes stated on the shoeboxes. We know from experience that especially the sizes US-12 and up tend to be bigger than stated on the shoebox. 

Order the size you normally would, we already take into account whether certain styles tend to have a wider or smaller fit. Sometimes we also personally inform you about this.

If you are in between sizes:
For 'closed' models like boots or pumps we recommend you to rather go with a size slightly bigger than a size too small. If they are slightly too big you can always compensate for that with a pair of insoles or gel/foam pads. You can also use heel-grips to reduce the space between your heel and the back of the shoes/boots (while providing your ankles with more comfort!)
For 'open' models like sandalets we recommend you to go with the slightly smaller size because they already have some more space for your feet. 

If you are certain you want to order a specific US-size, select the size where the US-size you want is stated (so don't look at the EU-size) and to be extra sure; mention the desired US-size in the comments in your shopping cart.
If you don't select the desired US-size, we will send you the size we know from experience is corresponding with the EU-size stated. This can be different from the size stated on the shoebox.

You can always ask us for advice regarding your size: info@party-shoes.nl

General information

We import from America especially for you. The average delivery time is 1 to 1½ weeks (within the Netherlands) but this can also be more.

If items have already been purchased for you from America, we can charge the import / postage / import duty costs if the order is canceled before delivery, or if the order is returned after delivery.

Of course we prefer not to do this, but in order to cover the unnecessary costs incurred by us and to discourage many returns (think of the environment), this has unfortunately proved necessary.

This is, of course, not the case with an exchange for a different size if the size turns out to be incorrect.

You can read more about this in our Terms and Conditions and Refund Policy.
