Crispins Shoes

If you wear a UK 8 to 12, you already know the drill: cute pair online, wrong shape when it turns up, back it goes. We started Crispins to stop that loop. We stock heels, boots, trainers and flats in UK 8–12 (EU 42–46), and we pay attention to the stuff that matters when you’re on your feet.

We look at the last first... is the toe roomy enough, is the heel pitch stable or are you tip-toeing by lunch, leather that softens rather than cracks, zips that glide… Those little things decide if you reach for a pair again or bury it in the cupboard.

Expect soft leathers and suede from European makers, balanced block heels you can walk in, ankle boots with a bit of wiggle room, loafers that don’t bite, and trainers that don’t look like “orthopaedic, but make it fashion.” For boots, we show calf measurements and note where there’s hidden stretch. If you’re between sizes, we’ll nudge you up or down based on the shape.

If you’re not sure where to start, think about where you’ll wear them. For office days you could try a mid-heel or a cushioned loafer. If it’s for school run and trains, maybe have a go with slim trainers with a firm heel counter. How about nights out - a strap that holds you in beats an extra centimetre of height every time will do the work.
