Carmela size & fit guide
Carmela’s leather trainers and sandals have different shapes and levels of adjustment. Use the width and fastening listed for the individual model.
Size chart
Carmela’s size ranges and foot lengths are shown below. Measure your longer foot and compare its length with the chart. UK equivalents are approximate; order using the EU size on your chosen product. Sizes shown are not available in every style.
Use the length of your longer foot, measured while standing. Do not use the length of an insole. Measure your feet
| EU | UK (approx.) | Foot length (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | — | 23 |
| 36 | 3 | 23.6 |
| 37 | 4 | 24.2 |
| 38 | 5 | 24.9 |
| 39 | 6 | 25.6 |
| 40 | 6.5 | 26.3 |
| 41 | 7 | 26.9 |
Use the sizes offered on your chosen product. A brand chart may include sizes that are not available in every style.
A chart comparison is a starting point, not a guarantee of fit. Check the style’s width and the sizes available before ordering.
How Carmela shoes fit
- Buckle sandals: On styles such as 162393, set the ankle buckle comfortably and check that the front straps sit without pressure. The ankle fastening does not widen the forefoot.
- Leather trainers: Use the laces to set the fit across your instep. Check any zip and footbed information separately; these features vary by design.
- Materials and width: Leather may soften with wear, but the shoe should feel comfortable across the toes from the first try. Do not rely on a narrow shape stretching to fit.
Between sizes?
If your longer foot falls between two lengths, compare the neighbouring EU sizes and the fastening on your chosen style. For a broader foot or high instep, contact us with the style number before deciding; a longer shoe is not always a wider fit.
Brand guidance is a starting point. Product-specific details and the way the shoe holds your foot also matter.
How to measure your feet →When your shoes arrive: a quick fit check
Try them indoors on a clean surface before deciding to keep them.
- Try both shoes. Wear your usual socks or tights and any insoles you intend to use. Adjust the fastenings.
- Check toe room. Your toes should move comfortably, without pressing against the front or being squeezed at the sides.
- Take a few steps. Check for persistent heel slipping, rubbing or pressure across the top of your foot.
- Something feels wrong? Ask us before wearing them outside. A different width or shape may help more than changing size.
How to measure your feet
- Place a sheet of paper on a hard, level floor with one edge against a wall. Wear the socks you plan to wear with the shoes.
- Stand with your heel gently against the wall and your weight on the foot. Have someone mark the end of your longest toe, keeping the pencil upright.
- Measure from the wall edge to the mark in centimetres. Repeat for your other foot and use the longer measurement. Measuring towards the end of the day can be helpful.
Only compare this measurement with a chart labelled foot length. An insole or shoe measurement may include extra space and is not interchangeable. Do not add an allowance unless that brand’s instructions specifically say to.
