I'm drooling over some Hot Chocolate shoes, but what's their sizing like?

I really fancy getting some Hot Chocolate Mary Jane style shoes, but I'm not able to get out to the shops to try some on. What's their sizing like? I'm generally a UK 6.5-7. I tried their measuring guide but it seems to make me a UK size 8-9 which I'm not. Can you help me so I can order some of these lovelies?

Also, how do the platform versions compare to the normal ones? Would I be able to drive in them? 🤔

I love them. I am a wide size 6 and wear size 7 across their styles. My favourite are the mid heels

I only have 1 pair of their platforms - great for walking but no so much for driving as quite ridged but still very comfortable.

. How easy are they to keep clean? I'm not precious with my shoes Blush

The Satine finishes, such has the Havana flats or Charlotte - I just use slightly dry wet wipes on them. Black Tudor are my "go to" office shoes atm and I brush them down as I would any velvet shoe. The leather effect, such as Esoteric are a doddle to clean.

I don't wear them in wet weather but they are regularly splashed.

Which designs are you drooling over?

I've never heard of these before so just looked them up.... they're like little pieces of art for your feet! Which ones are you going for?

These were my flat Havana shoes yesterday. They are so comfortable.

I've got my eyes on the spider ones too

I like the spider ones and flamingo ones, I'm also looking at some of the older designs on ebay

I'm a 4.5-5 and ordered what they said was a 5UK. The fit is fine, but the back of them is pretty rigid and hurts my feet. I pretty much have that trouble with every pair of shoes I buy though so it's my feet rather than the shoes. However, they look lovely. (Toile de jouy platforms.)

Do they do adult sizes?

Yellowcrockpot · 31/05/2021 13:14

Omg, op these are right up my street, off to Google now!! Sorry not being helpful but yes, they're gorgeous.

Brackenandbramble · 01/06/2021 16:24

OP I think you should go for them and just get a few plasters for the dreaded breaking in period.
I'm now obssessed with them lol. Also love their swimwear!
