FAQ

POPULAR FAQS

What size should I take? 

Each shoe style will vary slightly, but a general rule of thumb is that if you are between sizes we would suggest you size up. 

 

Cru, Alto, and Roxy are a neat fit and customers who are usually in between sizes, have tended to size up. Copeland trainers are a generous fit and customers in between sizes tend to size down in this style.

Sandals are a standard fit but if you are in between sizes, we would advise sizing up. 

All our boots are true to size but if you are in between sizes, we would advise to size up in the majority of our boots, whereas Demi we suggest sizing down, and bear in mind you might want to wear thicker socks during colder months.   

Our shoes will give a little in width, but not in length.  We advise trying on your new shoes on carpet for a little while and try them on again in the evening when our feet are at their largest, and with various socks you may wear to make sure they are a good fit for you. Please ensure your new shoes fit to your liking before they are worn outside. We recommend doing so on a carpeted surface to avoid marking the soles.

Do contact us if you need any further sizing advice. 

The shoes I would like to order are out of stock – when will you receive a new delivery?

Use our ‘notifyme’ button to be updated on when new stock comes in on the style you’re looking for. As soon as the item is back in stock, you will automatically be notified via email.

With Sale and Outlet items, this will only happen with the exception of some coming back in stock from returns as these styles are end of line.

Where is my order?

Once they are dispatched, you will receive an email or text with tracking information. 

You can also track your parcel using the links below.

Not going to be in for your delivery?

You have 20 days from receiving your shoes to request a returns label, and you then have a further 8 days to return them (a total of 28 days from receipt).  

How do I get a returns label?

You have up to 20 days from receipt of your order to request a returns label/barcode from our online returns system. 

You then have a further 8 days to drop the parcel off at a registered shop.  We use only use Royal Mail for our free returns service. 

You will need to know your order/receipt number (input the number without the #) and the email address you used to make your purchase.  

If you would like to request an exchange, please state in the notes which style/size you would like to exchange for.  If this is in stock, we will create an exchange order for you once we process your return.

Do not worry if you do not have a printer, you will also receive a barcode within the email which you can show to the shopkeeper to print in store. 

How long does it take to get a refund?

It usually takes up to 10 working days from your shoes arriving at our warehouse to process your return, however, you may hear from us sooner.

You can check if your shoes have been safely returned to our warehouse from the tracking button on the email you received with your label. 

As soon as we process your return, you will receive an email to confirm your refund/exchange.  

If you require your exchange pair sooner, it may be advisable to request a refund and to make a new purchase.

Do you do a wide fit?

We'd love to offer a wide fit option for our shoes (it's on our list!), but we're still a small business so we can’t do everything we would like to straight away. 

Wide fit requires a whole new set of lasts, knives and moulds for which manufacturers require high minimums and as yet, we’re not quite big enough yet to reach the quantities required. 

Our shoes will give a little in width, and we'd advise trying them on carpet for a little bit in the evenings when our feet are at their largest size, and make sure you loosen the laces enough.  If they're not quite right, we offer free UK returns.

What size should I take?

Each shoe style will vary slightly, but a general rule of thumb is that if you are between sizes we would suggest you size up.

Cru, Alto, and Roxy are a neat fit and customers who are usually in between sizes, have tended to size up. 

Sandals and espadrilles are a standard fit but if you are in between sizes, we would advise sizing up.

All our boots are true to size but if you are in between sizes, we would advise to size up and bear in mind you might want to wear thicker socks during colder months. 

Our shoes will give a little in width, but not in length.  We advise trying on your new shoes on carpet for a little while and try them on again in the evening when our feet are at their largest, and also with various socks you may wear to make sure they are a good fit for you.  We do offer free returns/exchange should they not be quite right for you.  Please ensure your new shoes fit to your liking before they are worn outside. We recommend doing so on a carpeted surface to avoid marking the soles. Do contact us if you need any further sizing advice.

There is a size guide available here.

What makes your shoes so comfortable?

Our Tender Loving Air footbeds are created from three different layers of luxurious memory and recovery foam cushioning, shaped into a wedge, cleverly hidden inside the shoe. We use the best, high performance materials, usually only found in sports shoes. You can learn more here.

What do you mean when you describe some styles are “distressed” or “vintage”?

Distressed/vintage finish is part of the character of a few of our styles.  This effect is achieved by hand and will vary from pair to pair.  Should the item be distressed/vintage, it will be noted in the product description.

What are your vegan shoes made from?

Our Vegan Collection is made from a range of different materials, so it depends on which style specifically. For leather and suede alternatives, we use a microfibre material. We also use fabrics: canvas, cotton, and velvets.  As with all of our shoes, the outsole is made from 25% natural rubber combined with synthetic rubber for optimum durability. We limit the use of PU based materials to an absolute minimum. There is just a small amount used for trims on some styles and we are looking into durable, bio-based alternatives for future use. 

Are your shoes sustainably made?

Our shoes are designed to transcend seasonal fast fashion fads.  We believe true style does not expire, they are shoes you can wear again and again.  Learn more about what we’re doing to ensure we are as sustainable as possible here.

Where can I try your shoes on before I buy them?

Unfortunately, we are not currently open as a store, but plan to open a fitting room as soon as we can.

Do you have an outlet/discount store?

We sell all end of line stock in our archive eBay store.

Please note, postage and returns are charged. You cannot earn or redeem members club points on eBay purchases.

Can I wear orthotics with your shoes?

Our shoes can be worn with orthotics, depending on the size of the orthotic. All our trainers have removable footbeds which may accommodate this. 

Do your shoes provide arch support?

Air and Grace shoes do not provide arch support, the benefit of our insole is underfoot comfort and shock absorption. 

How can I look after my shoes?

We highly recommend using a water repellent protector spray to protect your shoes from water and dirt.  However, you will still need to look after your shoes!

Leather is a natural product so it will only ever be water resistant – if you step in enough puddles, your feet will eventually get wet!  Never dry your shoes on direct heat such as a radiator.  Make sure you stuff your shoes with newspaper and let them thoroughly dry out before their next wear.

Like us, shoes need a little care to keep them looking their best, and we have some shoe care products that can help with that.

You can find our shoe care advice here.

Do you sell gift cards?

We certainly do! You can find them here.

They start at £25 and go up to £300. Gift cards are delivered immediately by email with instructions how to redeem online and are only redeemable at www.airandgracelondon.com

Do you sell spare laces? 

Yes, you can find them here.

What is a pre-order?

The shoes are not yet in stock at our warehouse, but we should be dispatching them on the date advertised on the product page.  Pre-ordering reserves your pair, and payment is taken at the time the order is placed.
