Sizing guide

How to choose the right size?

Because all our models fit differently, and we understand you might be hesitant to order without trying them on, we have listed the fit details of all our models to guide you in the creation process.

All our shoes follow French sizing, in the tradition of French luxury footwear.

To explain the technique, our full sizes differ by 6.66 mm in length, and half sizes by 3.33 mm.

We make all our models in sizes EU 34 to 43, with half sizes available. We can also create models in sizes 33.5 and 43.5 upon request by email.

Below, you will find the list of our models and their specific fit details.

A few important notes:

  • Our sizing recommendations have been carefully studied. Even if we recommend choosing a size smaller than your usual, trust us!

  • Your size will always be checked by our team, especially if the fit of the model is particular. You will receive a confirmation email before we start production of your creation.

  • If the size is too small or too large, returns are allowed within 1 month (click here to learn more).

If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for below, feel free to send us an email at contact@dmus.fr.

Are your shoes fit true to size ?

Our shoes fit differently depending on the model, here is the summary below :

customize your round toe pump

Pumps fit true to size, so you can choose your usual size, whether they are open at the back (slingbacks) or not.

Need extra or reduced width ? Let us know in the order comments.

Want a deeper or more subtle shoe neckline ? Mention it in the order comments.

When processing your order, we will be able to advise you on whether a slight adjustment upon receipt is needed or if a special shape should be created for your foot.

 

Open toe pumps

 

Open-toe pumps (with crossed straps or a classic opening) tend to run a bit large, so we recommend choosing half a size down from your usual size.

We recommend following this advice even if you have wide or narrow feet, or if your feet tend to swell.

However, please mention this in the order comments so we can take it into account.

For example, if you wear a size 37, choose a 36.5.

Pointed toe pump

 

Pointed-toe pumps fit true to size, so you can choose your usual size, whether they are open at the back (slingbacks) or not.

However, please note that this model is rather narrow and may not be ideal for wider feet.

 

Platform pumps

 

Platform pumps — both open and closed — run large, and we recommend choosing half a size down from your usual size.

They tend to have a wide fit, and you may slip out at the back if you select your usual size.

For example, if you wear a size 37, choose a 36.5.

The platform pump with an 8 cm chunky heel runs very large, and we recommend opting for a full size down from your usual size.

For example, if you wear a size 37, choose a 36.

T-strap shoes fit true to size, so you can choose your usual size.

However, please note that this model has a low cut on the toes, making it unsuitable for feet with hallux valgus. 

If this applies to you, please mention it in the order comments, so we can raise the cut (shoe neckline).

 

Open toe T bars

 

Open-toe T-strap shoes run a bit large, and we recommend choosing half a size down from your usual size.

With their V-shaped vamp, they are perfect for narrow feet, but also for wide feet that need extra support (please note, in this case, mention it in the order comments so we can widen them before shipping).

For example, if you wear a size 37, choose a 36.5.

We haven't defined half sizes for this model as they wouldn't make a noticeable difference.
