Sizing Tieks Tieks don't come in half sizes, so people often ask if they should size up or size down if they typically wear a half size. The FAQ page of the Tieks website says you can go either way, but they recommend that people with wide feet size up. I typically wear an 8.5 and I always size up to a 9.Jan 25, 2019
Should Tieks be tight at first?
Tieks should be snug but not tight. If you feel any kind of tightness, I recommend walking around your house in them for a week before deciding whether you want to keep them or not. One major thing to look out for is any kind of uncomfortable rubbing that turns your feet red.
What is the big deal about Tieks?
Tieks are dubbed “the most versatile designer flats in the world.” Each pair is crafted from the finest leathers (or vegan textiles). It takes 3 days and over 150 steps to create each pair. They're specially designed to be durable, yet flexible so you can fold them and fit them into a purse.Aug 4, 2016
How do I know if my Tieks are too big?
The best way to know if your Tieks are too big is if your heel comes out at all while you're walking in them. Another good way to know is if you feel your feet sliding around in your Tieks, which causes them to make a squeaking or farting noise.
Should flats be tight or loose?
The sole should be flexible so that walking is comfortable, and the shoe is less likely to fall off at the heel end. As with any shoe make sure the flats fit properly with at least ¼ inch of space in front of the longest toe, and that there is wiggle room for all the toes.
