You should stand flat on a piece of paper, relax your toes and mark the tip of the longest toe, but it doesn't have to be the big toe, and then mark the end of the foot, even with the heel. There is a distance between these two marks - a line that is the length of the insole. When deciding on wedding shoes or any other shoes, remember when you will be wearing them.
This is a simple, home-made method that helps avoid bad purchases – especially when ordering online. The measured insole length is key to choosing the right size, but it is also worth remembering the small nuances. If we plan to wear shoes with tights, the feet will have a slightly different "play" than with bare feet or thicker socks. This applies especially to models such as wedding stilettos, high-heeled pumps, platform sandals, or dress boots – i.e. shoes that you can find in many styles and colors at koquetki.
How to choose the perfect shoe size – a practical way to measure your foot
If you are choosing shoes for a special occasion – such as a wedding, New Year's Eve or a romantic dinner – consider how many hours you will be wearing them. A long night in too small heels can ruin even the most beautiful styling. That is why it is so important not to rely only on the "standard" size, but on the actual length of your foot. In Kokietki, you will find information about the length of the insole in centimetres for each pair of shoes, thanks to which you will easily match the right model to yourself.
It is also worth remembering that the foot can change slightly during the day - in the morning it can be slightly smaller, and in the afternoon, when we have been on our feet for several hours, it can swell slightly. Therefore, it is best to measure the foot in the evening - then you will choose shoes that will be comfortable all day, even when moving.
If you want full comfort, especially in high heels, consider going half a size up and using a soft gel insert – we often recommend them in coquettes as an addition to stilettos and sandals. This solution provides a better fit and allows you to enjoy a stylish look without pain.
Choosing the right heels
If you are choosing wedding shoes, pay attention to the lining – it is good if it is delicate, preferably leather or microfibre, which will reduce the risk of chafing. It is also worth walking around the house in them before the big day, so that your feet have a chance to get used to them. Kokietki offer many models that will work not only for a wedding, but also for other important events – thanks to subtle decorations, effective styles and careful finishing.
In the case of everyday stilettos, it is worth choosing models with a lower heel or a thicker column - they will be more stable and less tiring. These types of shoes are great for work, meetings or going out with friends. When choosing a specific model, it is good to match it not only to the occasion, but also to your style - in coquette, there are both nude stilettos, classic black, as well as more daring versions - red, patent or with glitter.
Ultimately, choosing the right heels is a combination of aesthetics and comfort. Beautiful shoes add self-confidence, but only well-fitted ones allow you to feel comfortable all day long. That is why it is so important to take a moment to measure your feet and make a conscious choice - so that each pair of shoes is not just an accessory, but an ally in your daily life.
Can our feet be a different size in the morning?
The shoes we put on in the morning may be slightly larger, because our feet are rested then and may literally be a size smaller. In the evening or late afternoon, after a whole day of walking, our feet expand a little, because they swell slightly, they may be tired, which is related to the natural force of gravity. Then shoes that are too small will simply squeeze us tightly. Therefore, platform shoes or all tightly closed shoes should have a combination of the size we have in the morning and the size we have in the evening. It is quite good if the shoes are half a size larger and we can put in them by the heels or anti-slip inserts, rather than too small and hurting our feet.
For this reason, the best time to try on new shoes is late afternoon – that is when our feet are closest to their daily “maximum size”. This is especially important when choosing high-heeled shoes, such as platform stilettos, closed-heel pumps or women’s boots with a narrow shaft. These models do not forgive mistakes – a too tight style can cause not only chafing, but also more serious foot problems.
At kokietki, we are aware that even half a size can make a huge difference. That is why we suggest choosing a larger size for many models, especially if the shoes have a rigid structure, as in the case of patent stilettos or sandals with a high heel. This allows you to adjust the inside of the shoe with additional accessories if necessary - e.g. gel inserts, leather heel counters or anti-slip cushions, which are available at kokietki as helpful additions.
Thanks to this, you can gain not only comfort, but also greater self-confidence - comfortable women's footwear is not a luxury, it is a necessity. After all, no one wants beautiful high heels to become the enemy of every styling. Remember: it is better to buy shoes that are slightly larger and fit well than to risk foot pain in too tight ones.
Paying attention to the natural changes in your body throughout the day isn’t a whim – it’s practical knowledge that makes shoes an ally, not a hindrance. After all, each of us deserves to feel good from morning to night – regardless of the height of the heel.

Choosing the right heels for your foot type – how to match your shoes to look and feel perfect
Each of us has a different foot shape – and although it may seem like a small thing, it actually has a huge impact on choosing the perfect high heels. A poorly chosen style can make even the most expensive and beautiful shoes neither comfortable nor good for our figure. Therefore, before we add our dream pair to the basket, it is worth taking a closer look at our feet and needs – because high heels should not only match our style, but above all, we should match ourselves.
For women with wide feet, the best choice will be stilettos with a slightly wider toe - for example, almond or slightly rounded. Models with a pointed toe, although very elegant, can press painfully and cause chafing after just a few minutes. At Kokietki you will find women's stilettos with a comfortable profile, which not only slim the leg, but also do not squeeze the toes. Styles made of soft materials are also a good choice - suede, stretch or textile fabrics gently adapt to the foot without causing discomfort.
If you have a high or low instep, pay attention to the internal construction of the shoe. In the case of a low instep, a good solution is shoes with a strap around the ankle or a T-strap fastening, which stabilizes the foot and prevents it from sliding in the shoe. For a high instep - it is worth choosing models without unnecessary stitching or decorations on the top of the foot to avoid pressure. In coquettes, we offer platform stilettos, which, thanks to the additional height in the front of the shoe, balance the angle of the foot, which gives the impression of a lower heel and greater comfort.
Many women struggle with the problem of sensitive heels or feet prone to chafing. Here, gel heels are a great solution, which you can conveniently insert into any model available in coquettes. It is also worth paying attention to stilettos with a soft insert, which absorb pressure and provide a feeling of comfort for many hours.
Let's not forget about the length of the toes - if you have a long second toe, it can extend beyond the tip of classic shoes and cause discomfort. Models with a fuller front or a slightly larger size will work better here, which you can supplement with a gel insert so that the heel does not move.
Choosing the right heels for your foot shape is an investment in your well-being. Whether you’re choosing shoes for work, an important event, or just looking for something special for a date – remember that comfort goes hand in hand with elegance, as long as you give yourself a moment to choose the right style.
