Size Guide for Heel Brands
Heel brands need detailed sizing: heel height (kitten 1 inch through stiletto 4 inch+), toe shape (round/pointed/almond), and brand-specific offsets.
The Chart
| Brand | Sizing | Notable |
|---|---|---|
| Manolo Blahnik | Italian — runs small | Add half size, pointed toes esp. |
| Jimmy Choo | True or slightly small | Premium, well-cushioned |
| Stuart Weitzman | True | Wider toe box than other luxury |
| Christian Louboutin | Italian — runs small | Pointed runs notably small |
| Sam Edelman | True (US sizing) | More accessible price |
FAQs
Pointed toe heel sizing?
Add half size. Pointed toes run notably small at the front. Round + almond shapes run truer.
All-day heel comfort?
Look for memory foam insole + back-cushion + 2-3 inch heel max. Higher = less comfort. Naturalizer, Cole Haan, Aerosoles excel here.
