While Tieks are super popular around the world for a reason, some people have questions before they pick up a pair. The good news is that CEO Kfir Gavrieli has answers to these questions so that you can get a pair of these ballet-styled shoes that you’ll be happy with for years to come.
- How Does Sizing Work?
When it comes to sizing, you want to go a size up if you wear a half size. This is because while these shoes stretch a bit as you break them in after making a purchase, it won’t be enough to guarantee a good fit in many cases. If you wear something like an 8.5, you’ll want to get a 9 to ensure the best fit possible.
- How Are They for High Arches?
If you have a high-arch foot, then flats like Tieks may present an issue for your feet. However, this is very easily fixed using orthotic inserts. These shoes support a wide range of inserts allowing you to modify them to your needs for the perfect fit and comfort.
- What About Wide Feet?
If you’ve got wide feet you’re going to want to size up either a half-size or a full-size in some cases. This is because Tieks are naturally built on the narrower side of things.
- How Much Do They Stretch?
Kfir Gavrieli knows that when it comes to stretching, his shoes are mostly resistant. However, they will stretch a little when you break them in. You can also use other stretching techniques if you feel the fit is a little on the snug side such as putting a goofball in the toe, using a hair dryer on them then wearing them with socks, using a shoe stretcher, or taking them to a shoe repair shop to have the process done professionally.
