How Your Dress Shoes Should Actually Fit: A Guide to Perfect Comfort and Style

Finding the Perfect Fit: Why It Matters

When it comes to dress shoes, fit isn’t just about size—it’s about how well the shoes conform to your feet. A proper fit ensures comfort, prevents foot problems, and enhances your overall appearance. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you find the perfect fit for your dress shoes.

To determine your correct shoe size for Mariqueño footwear, follow these steps:

1. Measure Your Foot Length:
   
   

   • Place a piece of paper on a flat, hard surface.
   • Stand on the paper with your heel against a wall.
   • Mark the tip of your longest toe and the back of your heel.
   • Measure the distance between these two points to obtain your foot length.
     
     

2. Refer to the Size Chart:
   
   

   • Compare your foot length to Mariqueño's size chart to find the corresponding shoe size. 
     
   • If your measurement falls between sizes, it's advisable to choose the larger size for comfort.
     
     

3. Consider the Fit:
   
   

   • Mariqueño shoes are handcrafted from premium genuine leather and are designed to fit true to size. 
     
   • For optimal comfort, wear your new shoes for a few hours each day over the first few days. This allows the leather to naturally mold to your feet, achieving the perfect fit within 3-5 wears.
     
     

4. International Size Conversion:
   
   

   • Mariqueño's sizes are based on standard Philippine measurements. 
     
   • If you're accustomed to US or EU sizes, consult the size conversion chart available on the product page to ensure accurate sizing.
     
     

5. Seek Assistance if Needed:
   
   

   • If you're uncertain about your size or if the shoes don't fit as expected, contact Mariqueño's customer service within 24 hours of delivery to arrange an exchange for a different size. 

The perfect fit for your dress shoes combines length, width, arch support, and flexibility. By paying attention to these factors, you’ll not only enhance your comfort but also ensure a polished and professional appearance.

Investing time in finding the right fit will pay off in the long run. Your feet deserve the best, so take the time to choose dress shoes that offer both style and comfort.
