BLUR Wedge Sandals: Sizing and Fit Questions Answered

Quick answer

The Castañer BLUR/007 wedge sandal is designed to fit true to your usual size, so start with your normal Castañer size. If you normally wear a half size, round up to the next whole size for a more comfortable fit.

Why the BLUR fits true to size

The BLUR/007 is made on a last that Castañer describes as true to your usual size. That means the length and width should match the size you normally wear in other Castañer styles, so you can order with confidence without sizing up or down.

The suede upper softens slightly with wear, which gives a more personalized fit over time. However, the wedge sole and footbed do not stretch, so the initial length is what you get.

What to do if you are between sizes

Because the BLUR is available in whole sizes only (35 to 40), half-size wearers need a rule. If your usual size is a half size, choose the next size up. This gives a little extra room at the toe and heel, which is especially useful if your feet tend to swell in warm weather.

If you have a wider foot, sizing up can also relieve pressure across the vamp. The suede will give slightly, but the sole will not widen.

Comfort and break-in expectations

The BLUR/007 is a wedge sandal with a suede upper and a taupe finish. The wedge heel provides elevation without the steep pitch of a stiletto, making it a practical choice for all-day wear. The suede lining is soft against the skin, but like any new leather shoe, it may feel snug at first.

Give yourself a short break-in period: wear them around the house for an hour or two before a full day out. The suede will mold to your foot, and the footbed will start to compress slightly. If you feel pressure points, a thin gel insert at the ball of the foot can help.

Frequently asked questions

Do BLUR wedge sandals run true to size?

Yes, the BLUR/007 is designed to fit true to your usual size. Order the size you normally wear in Castañer shoes.

Should I size up if I'm a half size?

The BLUR comes in whole sizes only. If you typically wear a half size, choose the next size up for a comfortable fit.

Are BLUR wedge sandals comfortable for all-day wear?

The wedge heel and soft suede upper make them suitable for extended wear, but allow a short break-in period. The footbed is not heavily padded, so if you need extra cushioning, consider a thin insert.

How should I care for the suede upper?

Brush off dust with a suede brush and protect them with a water-repellent spray before first wear. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
