We get it. You love your new Radical Yes shoes, and you want to wear them every waking hour of every day! While we absolutely design our shoes with everyday versatility and regular use in mind, they are (unfortunately) not indestructible. Like most things that sustain prolonged use, a shoe&#x2019;s materials will eventually begin to wear out with use over time.&#xA0;Giving your shoes a rest between wears is just one step to giving them the longest life possible.

Can I Wear My Radical Yes Shoes Everyday?

Pretty true to size! Feet are like snowflakes so fit tends to vary slightly based on the style.

Our shoes typically fit true to size. However, the fit of a shoe can vary depending on the style. We fit-test each style and make sure to include all fitting notes in each product description, including if a style is running small or large, and whether to size up or down accordingly. You are welcome to email or call us with any questions you may have; we are always here to help you find your Cinderella fit!

How Do Radical Yes Shoes Typically Fit?

All feet are different, as are all shoes. So there is (unfortunately) no standard answer to this. Shoes wear very differently based on your feet and based on the material of the shoe. While there are tricks to soften shoes (they can even be stretched by a cobbler), the best way to wear your shoes in&#x2026; is to wear them! See below for a breakdown of all the materials we use and how they wear.&#xA0; LeatherMost customers find our leather shoes wearable from the get-go, but some feet need a little more help than others to get their new shoes feeling 100%. Our leather-lined/leather upper shoes can stretch up to 8-10% over any pressure points if needed, but won&#x2019;t give too much if they&#x2019;re feeling like a perfect fit. Leather is a natural material, so it will soften the most with age, whilst allowing your feet to breathe.If your leather shoes are feeling snug upon the first few wears, we recommend wearing your new shoes at home with thick socks, before wearing them out and about! The socks will apply extra pressure on the leather upper, and will help to fast-track the break-in process.&#xA0;PU UpperPolyurethane (PU) is a man-made material designed to simulate leather, so it reacts similarly to wear over time, softening to accommodate the shape of your feet. However, it does not have the breathability of leather and may take a little longer to soften. We use high-quality PU for our non-leather styles, which a lot of customers find more durable and comfortable long-term than leather.CanvasCanvas shoes may feel stiff for a little longer than expected, but persevere with some thick socks and the hairdryer trick from our <a href="https://radicalyes.com.au/pages/fitting-hacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="fr-green fr-strong">Fitting Hacks Guide</a>, and you should be rocking them in no time.Nylon UpperSimilar to canvas, nylon is a woven material, so it may take some wearing in to soften. Many of our nylon styles are lined with PU to simulate the softness of leather against your feet.

How Long Does It Take To Wear In My New Shoes?

We only make full sizes. If you are a half size, we always recommend sizing up rather than sizing down, as there is more you can do with a shoe that is slightly too big than slightly too small! If you have sized up and the shoes feel a little roomy,

We only make full sizes. If you are a half size, we always recommend sizing up rather than sizing down, as there is more you can do with a shoe that is slightly too big than slightly too small! If you have sized up and the shoes feel a little roomy, you can always combat this by adding an extra pair of insoles, as well as thick socks to fill up some of the space in the shoe. If a style is running slightly long, you may be able to size down instead.Make sure to read our product descriptions to learn about how a specific style fits. We make sure to include as much information as possible in our product descriptions, so you can feel confident while shopping online. If you are unsure of what size you are in a particular style, please reach out to us via email or phone with your questions. We are always here to help you find your Cinderella fit!&#xA0;

I Wear A Half-Size, What Size Should I Choose?

Yes! All of our shoes have our very own, removable, leather athletic innersoles.

Yes! Many of our shoes come with removable insoles. This not only provides support and comfort, but also allows you to swap these with your own orthotics if needed.&#xA0;For our shoes that do not have removable insoles, we make sure to make up for this by including built-in cushioning and comfort in the footbed. Many of our sandals have built-in heel and arch support, and a footbed that cups your feet. Most customers who wear orthotics find our sandals supportive enough as they are!&#xA0; Make sure to read our product descriptions on each product page to find out if your dream shoes come with removable insoles or not!&#xA0;

Are Radical Yes Shoes Supportive?

Yes! Almost all Radical Yes shoes have removable athletic inner soles.

Many of our shoes, especially our trainers and boots, come with removable insoles, which allow you to swap them with your orthotics if needed! However, not all of our wonderful shoes come with removable insoles.&#xA0;Make sure to read our descriptions on each product page to find out if your dream shoes come with removable insoles or not.
