Measuring your feet is an important step to find the closest size for you and avoid returns.

How To Measure Your Feet

What you will need: 2 sheets of paper, a pencil, and a ruler or measuring tape. Put on the same pair of socks you plan to wear with the shoes.
  1. Stand with one foot on the paper & a slight bend in your knees. Trace the outline of your foot on the paper with a pencil pointed straight down.
  2. Foot Length: On the paper mark the tip of the big toe & the outermost part of the heel measure the distance between the two points in cm or mm.
  3. Foot Width: Mark the widest points of your forefoot and measure the distance between them in cm or mm.

If your feet have different measurements, which is very common, use the largest number to choose your size. Compare measurements to size chart.

      SUSTAINABILITY

      Based on the “cradle to consumer” Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by SCS Global Services on our behalf, the Audrey in Black Patent-Effect has the following impacts on the environment, and we have, or are working to offset these impacts by 110%:

        • Global Warming Potential (GWP): 10.1 kg CO2 eq / pair, which is the same as driving a typical passenger vehicle for 25 miles. We have more than offset this impact, by 110%, by investing in the Green Trees Reforestation project, working to plant trees in one million acres of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, with over 6 million trees planted to date.
        • Fresh Water Consumption (FW): 0.50 m3 / pair, which is the same as running a typical dishwasher 17 times. We have more than offset this impact, by 110%, by investing in Water Restoration Certificates through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation.
        • Primary Energy Demand (PED): 167 MJ / pair, which is the same as operating a typical refrigerator for 6 days.
        • For the impacts on Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), Acidification Potential (AP), Eutrophication Potential (EP), Smog / Photochemical Oxidant Creation Potential (POCP) and Fossil Fuel Depletion (FFD).

          Furthermore, among other materials, various forms of plastic were used to make our shoes, weighing 182 grams or 6.4 oz in total. Although (a) we have already offset or will be more than offsetting our environmental impacts by 110%, and (b) some of our plastics originate from recycled sources, we acknowledge that plastic is not good for the planet. Thus, we are working with Plastic Bank, to offset the plastic used in the making of this pair of shoes by 110%. To do so, we invested in Social Plastic® Collection Credits equal to 7.1 oz of plastic prevented from entering the ocean and recycled. For more information on how this offset is achieved, please visit Plastic Bank’s website.
