Fit notes
Between two sizes? Go with the bigger size. Your toes should never be cramped.
One foot bigger? Use the bigger foot. Everyone's a little uneven.
Extra wide feet? Go one size up. Our shoes were designed with a variety of foot-shapes in mind. The soft leather moulds and settles into a glove fit.
Higher instep? Stay with your usual size. The Cat & Ava lace up or down, so you can adjust based on the height of your instep.
How to measure
Measure your foot (1 minute, more accurate than guessing):
1. Put a sheet of paper flat against a wall.
2. Stand on it, heel against the wall.
3. Mark the tip of your longest toe.
4. Measure from the wall edge to the mark.
5. Do both feet. Use the bigger number.
6. Measure at the end of the day, in the socks you'd dance in.
Fit is a feeling, not just a number
We've spent real time learning how our shoes fit real feet and have verified that our shoes fit true to size.
However, we also observed that size is a feeling, not a number. Some like their shoes to fit more snug and some like room.
The best way to identify your size is to look at the most common size you wear in your leather dress shoes and go with that.
On width, we've designed both shoes to accommodate for real width and a variety of foot shapes in the toebox. Our buttery-soft leather and lace-up construction make the shoes comfortable for dancers across different widths.

Fit A Variety of Foot Shapes
Done forcing your feet into an ill-fitting mold? The Cat boot finally changes that. Its foot-shaped toe box accommodates a variety of feet - wide, brick, fan, pizza feet, whatever they've been labelled in the past. Our unisex design works for every body.
The desert boot silhouette wraps around your foot with a snug, protective feel that actually supports you, and the robust cushioned insoles keep you comfortable through hours on the dancefloor without that familiar ache creeping in by the end of the night.
No more pain, no more compromise. Just shoes that work the way your feet actually are.
30-Day Returns
Anxious about making this purchase because it's online? We get it, because we've been there.
We offer a full 30-day refund if we receive the shoes back in resellable condition, which means no scuffs or use on the leather uppers, insole, or leather outsole.
