How to Choose Your Correct Size:

Our shoes run about a half size small, so we recommend ordering a half size up from your usual size. If you normally wear an 11, choose the 11.5. That's also why some whole sizes aren't listed. If you don't see your usual size, pick the next half size up.

  • Expect a slightly more fitted feel than a standard everyday shoe — so if you're ever unsure, round up rather than down.
  • Prefer extra toe room, or plan to wear thicker socks? Consider going up another half size.
  • Height enhancement may vary slightly by style, and fit may vary with how you wear them (thin vs. thick socks). Measurements are approximate.

The shoes have an internal height increase, which is very comfortable.

Uncomfortable to walk and almost feel like tipping over to the side trying to balance myself. The shoes does look nice though.

Hi Arnel, thank you for the review, and we're glad you like the look of the Retro33.

Sorry to hear they've felt unsteady so far. The Retro33 has one of our higher lifts, and any height-increasing shoe takes some time to feel natural. The sole and insole need some wear to break in and flex, and your stride and balance adjust to the new heel height over the first several wears.

We'd suggest wearing them around the house for short stretches at first and building up gradually. Stability usually improves noticeably as the shoe breaks in.
