I need help with my design!
We'd be thrilled to help you with your design! Just
contact us and let us know what you're looking for,
what designs and materials you're considering, and what you'd like to wear your shoes with
and we'll be happy to provide some shoe guidance!
We love teaming the perfect shoes with a favourite outfit. If you have a particular outfit
you'd like your shoes to go with but need some help creating them, feel free to email us at
hunter@shoesofprey.com with a photo
of your outfit and we'll put together some shoe ideas and designs for you!
What material options are there?
We have a wide variety of leathers and vegan materials available - including soft leather,
patent leather, fishskin, snakeskin, vegan 'leather' and more. Please refer to our
materials page for the full range.
As our prices are based on shoe shape, there is no additional costs to select a range of
different materials. Simply choose your favourite colours and textures and don't hesitate
to email if you have any questions.
Can I get a sample of a material?
Yes! We'd be delighted to send you some samples. To order, visit our
materials page.
Can you copy shoes from a photo or shoes that I already own?
Sorry, we don't copy shoes from photos or ones you already own. When another shoe designer
has come up with something we unable to copy it or even elements of it. We'd still love to
bring your perfect shoes to life, so please get in
touch and we'll be happy to discuss similar designs with you.

Prey logo into the lining of your choice.

How do I use my gift certificate?
You can enter your gift certificate code directly into your order at checkout. Simply
enter the reference number (including dashes) into the box called "Gift Voucher #", click
"Apply" and your voucher will be automatically credited against your order. If this doesn't
work for any reason, just send us a message letting us
know your voucher number, and we'll help fix it!
Does my voucher expire?
Your voucher will never expire! So you can enjoy designing your perfect shoes at your
leisure.
What happens if I don't use all the voucher in one go, or if it's
not enough to purchase the shoes I want?
If you don't use the full amount of the gift certificate in your first order, don't worry
as the remaining credit will be added to your Shoes of Prey account and applied
automatically to your next order!
If the total cost of your order is more than the value of your voucher, then you'll be
directed to our payment page, where you will be able to pay the remainder of the cost
What sizes do you offer?
We make our shoes in European sizes. We'll convert your size to the nearest European half
size when we make your shoes. We can make shoes in the following size ranges:
- European 31 - 49
- Australian 2½ - 15
- US 2½ - 15
- UK 12½ (Child) - 13½
- Japanese 20 - 30
Just select your normal shoe size or the size you wear most often once you reach checkout.
If you're really stuck and don't know which to choose, add a comment in your order and let
us know what sizes you usually wear and how you find them to fit. Then we'll get in touch
to suggest the most appropriate size for the style you've designed.
Please note: due to the laws of physics our 6-inch heels work best for European sizes
35 - 45 or US sizes 4.5 - 12, and our 4-inch wedges are only available from a European size
32.5 upwards.
Outside of these ranges...?
It's sometimes possible for us to make shoes outside these ranges, but we would need to
make up new shoe moulds so it takes a bit longer and is a little more expensive. If you'd
like us to make you an extra small or large shoe please
contact us and we'll be happy to discuss this with you.
How do I know which size to select or that you'll get the size
right?
After lots of experimentation, we've found that making your shoes in your normal size, or
the size you wear most often, is the best way for us to get sizing right for you. Different
shoe brands use different sizing systems, but we've had a really high success rate with this
method. If you're not sure which size to select during checkout, just add some information
in the comments box about your feet and size and we'll get in touch to confirm the best size
to try.
We can't promise to get sizing right for you first time, but we'll certainly do our best
and so far we've been right the vast majority of the time. If your shoes don't fit we'll
remake them for free or refund you according to our returns
policy. We guarantee you'll love your shoes, or your money back!
Wouldn't it be better if I measure my feet or send you a drawing
of them?
Measuring and drawing around feet accurately is really difficult to do without proper
training. Everyone has different methods to measure and draw around their feet and so our
technicians find these quite difficult to work with. A half size is equivalent to 3
millimetres so, if a measurement or drawing is even a little inaccurate, the size of the
shoes will be incorrect.
I have very narrow/wide feet. Can you make shoes for me?
We can make our shoes narrower or wider for you, that's not a problem. When you place your
order and reach our checkout page you'll have the opportunity to tell us some information
about your feet like, 'I have wide feet, I'm normally a C width', etc.
Please check out these pages for more information about our shoes for
wide feet and
narrow feet.
I have different-sized feet. Can you make shoes in different
sizes?
Absolutely! We're more than happy to make your shoes in two different sizes or widths.
When you place your order, simply add a comment as to what size you need for each foot
(eg. 38.5 for the Right foot and 38 for the Left foot) and we can easily do this for you.
Please check out this page for more information about shoes for
different sized feet.
How long will my shoes take?
Our shoes take approximately 4 weeks to hand make and
package, and an additional 2-4 days to deliver to your door. If you live in a rural area,
please remember it can take the courier a bit longer to reach you. If you're concerned
about your shoes reaching you in time, just contact us
and we'll look into this for you.
What if I need my shoes more quickly?
If you have a special event or occasion coming up that you need your shoes for, please
contact us to let us know when you place your order.
It's not always possible to get shoes to you more quickly, but we'll do our absolute best
to help you!
Although our technicians will work as fast as they can on your shoes, it's not possible to
craft and deliver them more quickly than two weeks. This is to ensure we keep the quality
of your shoes up to our high standards!
How do you ship the shoes?
We ship with DHL to almost all destinations. Shipping is free! Please don't forget that
someone will need to sign for your exciting delivery!
Do I need to pay Customs duties or taxes?
To provide an even more amazing service, we're now paying all customs duties and taxes for
you upfront so that you should never need to worry about this. If you do happen to have
your shoes delivered by a courier who wants to hold your shoes ransom for any reason,
get in touch with us straight away and we'll help

How do I measure heel heights?

blog post for a guide on how to measure heel heights.
My shoes are a bit tight, what can I do?
If your new shoes are a little tight, then stretching is a great way to make them wearable
more quickly. You can take your shoes to a local cobbler who will be able to stretch your
shoes by up to half a size to make them much more comfortable. Feel like some shoe-DIY?
Then read this
blog post for tips on how to stretch your shoes at home!
How do I prevent my shoes giving me blisters?
Ouch! Read Shoes of Prey founder Jodie Fox's
blog post
which has some fabulous tips from others on how to manage first-wear blisters and save
your feet from soreness.
How do I use the shoes inserts?
We want you to be super comfortable in your new shoes, so we include a selection of inserts
with them to help with both comfort and fit. If you need a little extra comfort under the
balls of your feet, the gel inserts are perfect! If your shoes are slipping a little at the
heel, then try the heel grips or the soft cushions under the balls of your feet, which help
push your feet a little further back in the shoes. If you need more assistance with the
comfort and fit of your new shoes, just contact us!
How do I care for my shoes?
We want your shoes to stay in top condition, so we provide a soft dust bag to help keep
them safe. This is particularly important for light coloured materials, silks and absorbent
cottons, which are more delicate than other materials and can mark easily.
Shoes of Prey founder, Jodie Fox, has also written some great blog posts where you can find
tips on how to care for and
waterproof your shoes. Check out these blog posts on how to care for
soft leather,
patent leather,
snakeskin and
fishskin.
What if my shoes are not right?
We want you to love your shoes so we'll be just as upset as you if they're not right!
If you have problems with the fit, then take a look at our Comfort & Shoe Tips section
above for some great ideas on improving this.
If these tips don't help and the shoes simply don't fit, or if you're not happy with your
shoes for any reason, then we'll happily remake them for you free of charge, or provide a
full refund. You can read more about this on our
Returns page!
All you need to do is contact us to let us know
what's not right with your shoes. Once you complete the form, you'll receive confirmation
