![]() One of them are ankle boots because these need to be worn with socks and and Loubs tend to have a narrow fit so they are more comfortable in a larger size. In my collection there are only three pairs of Louboutins where I went ½ size up. Even though some of their styles are known to be quite tight, especially the pointy toe designs, I have never felt the need to upsize in them. To me, Louboutins have always run true to size, although I am aware that opinions on the fit in this brand differ. ![]() I own several pairs of Louboutins, predominantly high heels in styles such as Pigalle, Simple Pump, Piou Piou, Decolettes, to name a few, but also some kitten and small block heels. Unsurprisingly, only one of the two pairs bought had the right fit. After trawling through numerous sites and YouTube channels, and gathering only limited information on sizing, eventually I had no choice but to rely on sheer potluck. In this case, I decided to splash out on pairs from brands which I have not tried before. ![]() But even as I managed to bag a couple of shoe bargains, the process has brought back the same dilemmas that I have always been facing when ordering footwear online, namely sizing and fit. Having spent the past two weeks in self-isolation, I could not help but engage in some online retail therapy, especially with so many fantastic sales around. However, while withdrawal and procrastination are the natural compulsions in times like these, I have finally decided to shake off the feeling of inertia and, instead, focus my attention on lighter and more uplifting subjects. It’s sometimes difficult to know how to do your part to save the planet, but with this sneaker, Unless made it stylishly simple.It has been a little while since my last post but the gloomy world news of the past few weeks have been quite distracting and unconducive to fashion blogging, at least in my case. When you’re finished with them, simply send them back to Unless, and they’ll recycle every last part. The Degenerate will undoubtedly last you quite a while. Now the real question is, what happens when you’re finished with them? The real problem with sneakers is that they’re tossed into a landfill to further pollute the planet - Unless (couldn’t help the pun) you do it right. Even the laces are 100% linen with cotton embroidered lace tips. From the coconut husk inner sole to the Clarus cotton canvas of the vamp and quarter, and from the Tencel thread of the upper stitching to the heavy linen thread of the outsole stitching, every part was provided by Mother Earth herself. How so? Every single part of this shoe is made from organic, plant-based materials. However, the real benefit is that when you wear The Degradable, you’re doing your part to help the planet. Sure, they can look great if styled properly, and they’re a good wear when they’re appropriately sized. This is the most significant benefit of the shoe. Our advice: If you wear a 9, go to a 9.5. That may not bother you if you don’t mind how that looks, but it can completely rob you of any put-together style. On top of blisters and sore toes, your little piggies pushing at the end of the toe bed can cause unsightly lines and pulls on the outer vamp. Wearing a shoe that is a smidge too short does more than make your feet hurt by the end of the day. The Degenerate is a little short on my giant kickers, so it may be best to size up a half-size in order to ensure that you get a proper fit. I have long and narrow feet, but typically, a 13 in most brands will fit. If you have a denim jacket, these sneakers will complement it perfectly. These are going to be best styled with your basic weekend jean and fashionable T-shirt.
