You can measure your feet or your child's feet at home using a book, a ruler and a wall. You can then see where the measurement fits on our unisex shoe size chart to find the recommended shoe size.


Measure Your Feet...

sizing-feet-steps
Place bare foot with heel barely touching the wall and longest toe barely touching the flat spine of a book. Step away carefully and measure the distance from the wall to the book.

... and Find Your Size

Once you have the measurement, look for it on the charts below to find the recommended Softstar shoe size. Contact us if you have questions.

Note: we do not recommend tracing feet because doing so usually gives a larger measurement.

Care Tips for Full Grain (smooth) Leather Shoes

Includes Sublime, Nova, Dublin, Highline, Torino, Shiny, LITE, Plonge, Aged, and Vegetable-Tanned Leathers

WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE:

Softstar Shoes are made from eco-friendly leathers tanned in the USA. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and hide markings is to be expected. Because we use leather colored with non-toxic food grade dyes, there will likely be some initial color transfer to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. This will decrease with use, but we don't recommend wearing your new Softstars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin.

If your shoes are a little snug at first in the toe box area, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a dry cloth. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe and let sit stuffed overnight to stretch. Do not use a damp cloth as the water can stain the leather or innersole of some leather types, rendering it non-returnable.

MAINTENANCE:

Most full grain leather we use is naturally water resistant, but our special vegetable-tanned leather (available only by custom selection on some of our design-your-own shoes) and Colorado leather are "naked" leathers and will stain from water alone. You can clean shoes as needed with water dampened cloth and let air dry, but please note if you do this on vegetable-tanned or Colorado leather then you will need to wet/stain the entire shoe to avoid water marks. Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather dressing, but be careful to keep it away from the edges of your rubber soles. Do not use mink oil on your shoes, as it can degrade the adhesion on bonded soles and cause the sole to separate from your shoe over time. We highly recommend Bee Natural Amore for general conditioning or Rain & Snow or Nikwax Full Grain Waterproofing on smooth leather for enhanced water resistance. The color on shiny metallic shoes will eventually patina with use into an antique wear look, which can be accelerated with repeated use to water and high wear (e.g. scuffing toes).

WASHING:

We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product as it strips the leather of it's natural oils and tends to dry stiffer. For all of our leathers (except vegetable-tanned) you can clean by hand with a damp cloth, or if needed you can hand wash your leather shoes using a gentle shampoo and cool water. Let them air dry. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results. Just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water, but you can speed up the drying by stuffing with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day.

 



Care Tips for Suede and Nubuck Shoes

WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE:

Softstar Shoes are made from eco-friendly, tanned in USA leathers. Leather is a natural product and some variation in texture and markings is to be expected. Because we use natural food grade dyes in our leather, there will likely be some initial color transference to your socks or skin if your shoes become damp. This will decrease with use, but please do not wear your new Soft Stars with your favorite white socks the first time you take them for a spin!

If your shoes are a little snug at first across the top of the toes, you can gently stretch them by stuffing the toe box with a slightly damp rag. Push the cloth tightly into the front of the shoe (don't worry, you won't hurt it). Let the stuffing sit in the shoes overnight to stretch the leather.

MAINTENANCE:

Use a suede brush to remove dirt. You can also choose to use a suede/nubuck leather care product to protect against stains and water absorption (we recommend Nikwas Nubuck & Suede Proof). While not necessary, it will help keep your shoes looking new over time. Do not use generic leather care products on suede, but only those specifically formulated for suede. Products for full grain or smooth leather will be too oily and may permanently darken and mat suede fibers. Please do not use mink oil on any Softstar shoes as it will mat the fibers of our natural leather and will break down the adhesive soling on styles that have bonded soles.

WASHING:

We do not recommend frequent washing of any leather product because it will strip the leather of it's natural oils and cause it to dry stiffer. When a suede brush is not enough, you can use a damp cloth or hand wash your suede shoes with a gentle shampoo and cool water, then let them air dry. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

We are often asked if our shoes can be washed in a washing machine. While not recommended as a normal course of action, when in dire straits the Elves have been known to toss a pair of shoes in the machine and generally have had good results—just don't mix them with any other item because of color bleeding. Be sure to give your wet shoes ample time to air dry. Shoes with sheepskin can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully submerged in water, but you can speed up the drying process by stuffing them with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day.

 



Care Tips for Sheepskin Boots

Softstar Phoenix boots are made from genuine, high quality sheepskin.

While genuine sheepskin is incredibly cozy and beautiful, it is also delicate and will stretch under strain. When wearing your Phoenix boots, use care to avoid stepping off the back or sides of your heels while you walk as doing so repeatedly can affect the shape of the boots and alter the way they fit. The best way to prevent this is by insuring you purchase the correct size. For adults, we recommend selecting a boot size that fits very snugly at first, as they will stretch over time. For children, growing room is important, so a little extra space is recommended. If possible, have your kids wear their boots the first few times on dryer days to give them time to form to their feet.

The boot uppers are made from eco-friendly leathers that are tanned in the USA. Our leather hides are natural products and some variation in texture and markings is to be expected. If you need to clean your boots, wash gently by hand with a damp cloth and let them air dry.

Condition the leather as often as desired with any quality leather care product, but take care not to get any oils on the edges of the rubber soles. Mink oil, specifically, will degrade the sole adhesion and can lead to separation of soling over time—we do not recommend the use of mink oil anywhere on our boots, as it can eventually seep down to the sole. For general conditioning we recommend Bee Natural Amore, For enhanced moisture protection we recommend Bee Natural Rain and Snow or Nikwax Full Grain Waterproofing. Be careful to use these products only on the smooth leather portion of the shoes and not on the suede cuffs (leather care products designed for the full grain leather uppers may permanently darken suede). It is not necessary to apply a suede protectant or waterproofing to the cuffs, but doing so may help keep that portion of the boot looking clean. If you do choose to add extra protection to the suede, be careful to use a product specifically made for suede leather.

Sheepskin boots can take 3-4 days to air dry if fully soaked with water. You can speed up the drying process by stuffing the boots with old newspapers and replacing the paper twice a day. If they become this wet, be very careful to avoid wearing them again until fully dry because the leather will be more susceptible to stretching and the fit may alter. Do not attempt to dry your shoes by exposing them to high heat, such as a clothes dryer, a hair dryer or by leaving them on a radiator or next to a fire. Doing so may damage leather or rubber soles.

  1. FANTASTIC! I Get so many compliments

    Rating

    I love these. I have owned 2 pairs. The first pair lasted almost 2 years. My current pair is just as sturdy, but I will need to replace them in the next 3-6 months.. They are just as perfect to slip into for a quick neighborhood walk as they are cute for a casual event. I LOVE the daisy flower motif of the customizable options. I get so many compliments on them.

    Rating

    I love these shoes. I find that they are a little long but it's me because of my one long toe on one foot. But they were ready to enjoy and feel great right out of the envelope ( love the packaging by the way). I will be getting more styles for sure. No other shoe will compare. They are cute, really cute also. I wear them with my professional dress slacks and blazer and with the extra lace detail on the front they look like they belong at the office.

    I am totally in love with my custom made Mary-Janes. The fit is perfect and they are so comfy... I wore them all day when they arrived with zero issues. I get compliments all the time when I wear them out, they are my main pair of shoes now so they are worn a lot...even around the farm! I am keen to try the primal joggers now too! Perhaps all I need is 2 pairs of shoes! The quality is fantastic!
  7. Mostly great!

    Rating

    I love them so much, comfy, good quality leather and stitching. My only tiny complaint is that the shape is a little bit too bend I think. I mean the whole sole arches a lot into one side which leaves unused space on one side while toes on the other are a bit more squezed. But not so much that I fell uncomfortable. I just thought that most often feet get wider more equally on both sides on the way to toes, especially with people who are into more minimalistic and barefoot shoes. But maybe I am wrong and my feet are wierd? Or maybe it is something worth looking into. It is hard to explain and it is not so visible in the photos. But this arching thing aside it is a great product nonetherless. :)

    I'm so excited for my Mary Janes. The elves were great! I was glad they recommended the regular vs primal Mary Jane for my foot size. They fit wonderfully. So fun to customize colors and add the flower. My feet are happy all day at my new job with lots of walking on cement floors. I'm grateful to support a company with good environmental and labor ethics. Thanks!

  11. Great shoe

    Rating

    I got these to transition into spring and summer shoes. I really like them. I’ve had aching feet in the past and realized it’s because most shoes are very narrow. These have a wonderfully large toe box and no forced ‘support’ they just let your feet be natural. Also, because they are made all in leather they don’t stink when you wear them all day without socks. Very cute too.

    Wow, these iridescent red MaryJanes make me feel like dancing! So glad to see this color back. Still waiting for burgundy leather. Please continue to add a color of the year, maybe for a limited time! Maybe some organic print combos that include turquoise or some tiny multi colored polka dots on the black. My husband just added a shelf to my shoe shelves.

    Perfect for my wide feet

    Rating

    These are the first pair of shoes that actually fit my wide feet! After spending the summer in barefoot sandals, my feet were not happy to be squeezed into conventional shoes this Fall. As soon as I slipped into my Merry Janes my feet felt at home. The events of 2020 have prompted me to be more conscious of how I shop, and I’m so glad I came across Softstar!

    I love my shoes! I was dubious at first about whether I had chosen the right size and width as I have very wide feet. The shoes have stretched nicely, but not too much. The shoemakers were amazing responsive to my questions about size and stretching. I will definitely order more - thinking of winter slippers.
  16. So happy!!

    Rating

    I am so happy I decided to order a custom pair of Merry Janes! I recently learned I could be making much healthier footwear choices. After 20+ years of wearing unhealthy shoes my feet are now breathing a sigh of relief. My feet are a tad wider than average and it is so nice to finally wear shoes that don’t pinch my toes. I went with the regular fit which has worked out well. The leather is extremely comfortable, very soft, and feels like you’re walking on a cloud. They didn’t need any breaking in. The quality is superb and I really appreciate the craftsmanship. Looking forward to my next pair of Softstars! Thank you ☺️

    Finally have a barefoot shoe that i can wear with my dresses and not look totally ridiculous (been wearing my fivefingers with them for years). Have gotten so many compliments on them cuz they are super cute. Getting the sandals next.
  18. Great quality, not a perfect fit for me

    Rating

    From a minimalist perspective they're great - and of course, the materials and workmanship are top notch. I have a little trouble with the toe box feeling too low. My big toe shows as it is pressing up against the leather and I had to gradually increase my time in the shoe as it initially produced some discomfort with a longer duration of wearing. The shoe also feels a little too long for me despite previous purchases and consulting with the elves prior to ordering. I'm keeping them and adjusting. I can still recommend as each foot is different.

    These are awesome. I’ve been looking for a minimalist type shoe for awhile and couldn’t find anything that suited my style and size. I’m extremely impressed with these. Comfortable is an understatement, love the look. They have the perfect balance of covering my foot and letting my feet breath. They are “airy” but warm. I was afraid I’d get flack or criticized for wearing this style as a guy but am happy to say that hasn’t happened. I appreciate S.S. For leaving that door open for us guys too. Great shoe, love the company and customer service. THANKS

    These weren't a perfect fit at first. The top of the shoe rubbed me just at the wrong place across my foot. But I was leaving on a trip and slipped them on the day I got them and hoped it would change. I'm glad I didn't return them. They stretched out and I no longer feel the top anymore and they are wonderful just like my other softstars. I probably would have returned them if I didn't want to wear them so badly on my trip. I'm glad I did.

    Rating

    I have wide, flat feet and have consistently had to buy shoes a couple of sizes larger to get a shoe that's wide enough. The recommended Softstar shoe size measurement in the wide size fits perfectly. I was a little concerned about my toes being squished at first, but the leather is very soft and stretches.

    Cute, mostly comfortable

    Rating

    I have tried three styles of shoes from Softstar: The Ballerine, the Solstice Sandal, and the Merry Jane. The Merry Jane is my favorite. I couldn't tolerate the pressure the Ballerine's put on my toes and the Solstice Sandal hasn't been perfect for me, either. These Merry Janes are spacious, comfortable for most of my foot, and very cute. I've received many compliments on them. There are three things that I have issue with. My biggest issue is that the heel is too narrow. If If I wear my Merry Janes and go for a walk, my heels become tender because they press on where the seams are sown. I don't have wide feet according to Softstar's recommended measurements but somehow the heel is too narrow for me. If it wasn't for that, I'd give these shoes 5 stars. The second is that all of Softstar's shoes only come in full sizes and I am a pretty consistent half size. With rounding down to the smaller size, the shoe ends up being too tapered and my pinky and next couple toes get squished. If I size up, which is what I have done, I have lots of room to slip around because of the space in front of my big toe. The other issue is the shoes creates a bit of a pigeon toe, but that I can live with. So, I'll just use them as office shoes where I don't have to be on my feet much.

    Just finished first long day in a pair of custom color Merry Janes. I love these shoes! Nothing rubs, pinches, or slips. Lovely! I am in between size 9u and 10u with wide feet. I had to return the first pair I ordered as the 10 in these was too large. These shoes fit on the larger side. My "regular" shoe size is women's 11ww or mens 9.5. A 9u wide is the perfect fit for me in these Merry James. Thank you Softstar!

Softstar shoes that are still in brand new condition may be returned for a refund for any reason within 45 days of receipt from any country in the world. This also applies to shoes that you customized with your own unique colors and motifs. We will refund the full cost of the shoes, but customers are responsible for all return shipping charges.

Visit our returns page to learn more.

There are some exceptions to this policy: shoes treated with leather care products, shoes purchased from our biannual clearance sales and shoes made with advanced requests are non-returnable.

Your refund will be applied after the shoes arrive at our shop. If you would like to exchange your shoes for a different size/color/style then you can simply place a new order at your convenience.

Please let us know if you need help with a return. Softstar also has a Happy Feet Guarantee which outlines replacements/returns for workmanship, fit or durability concerns. 

We 100% guarantee we will repair or replace any defects in leather, sheepskin or workmanship free of charge within 30 days of receiving your shoes. This does not cover wear and tear or misuse on behalf of the consumer. Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal use.

We stand by our product and will send you a return shipping label and either repair or replace your shoes if they fail for durability as described below:

  • Peeling of leather finish or print within the first 6 weeks, excluding our shiny leathers which naturally scuff and/or develop patina appearance with normal wear.
  • Stitching defects within first 3 months.
  • Heel support detachment within 3 months.
  • Innersole bunching, coming loose or developing bald spot within 3 months.
  • Sole delamination within 3 months.
  • Leather inlays coming loose within 6 months.
  • Non-functional closures (VelcroTM, buckles, elastic failures, zippers) within 12 months.

All Softstar shoes are 100% designed and handcrafted at our workshop in Philomath, Oregon, USA. We don't outsource any of our manufacturing processes, but instead do it all under one roof. All of our order fulfillment and shipping happens directly from our workshop, too. For more information and to see how our shoes are made, visit this page.

We do not make Merry Janes with sheepskin insoles attached, but you can purchase adult or child/youth removable sheepskin insole separately and add them yourself.
