Sizing & Fit Notes

Sizing for shoes varies more across factories than most buyers expect. Do not assume TTS. Always request a flat-lay measurement photo and compare against your best-fitting comparable garment or item.

Request flat-lay measurements
Compare to existing best fit
Check factory size chart vs retail
Allow 1–2 cm tolerance
Ask about post-wash shrinkage

Risk Reminder

Shipping shoes without a double-box increases crease risk. Some carriers also reclassify shoe-only parcels as higher duty brackets in 2026.
