CURTIS/8/007 runs small, so Castañer recommends sizing up. Here are direct answers on fit, the 9 cm jute wedge, and comfort for these tie-up suede wedge espadrilles.
Quick answer
CURTIS/8/007 runs small, so Castañer recommends ordering one size larger than your usual size. If you normally wear a 38, start with a 39. The tie closure can fine-tune the fit across the instep, but it will not add length.
Why the size recommendation matters more than the label
The catalog note for CURTIS/8/007 is explicit: talla pequeño, and Castañer recommends one size up. That is the single most reliable starting point for this model, because the suede upper and closed toe leave little room to stretch lengthwise. A tie closure helps with volume, not with a short footbed.
If you are between sizes, take the larger one. If you have a narrow foot, the laces can take up slack; if you have a wide foot, sizing up also gives more room across the toe box.
What the 9 cm jute wedge means for fit and comfort
The 9 cm wedge raises your heel and changes how your foot sits in the shoe compared with a flat espadrille. A padded insole is listed in the catalog, which helps underfoot, but the wedge height is the main reason to try the shoes on at home before wearing them outside.
A higher wedge can push the foot forward into the closed toe. That is another reason the one-size-up recommendation matters: extra length keeps your toes from pressing against the front of the shoe when you walk.
CURTIS/8/007 fit questions, answered
- Do wedge espadrilles run true to size?
- Not this one. CURTIS/8/007 is marked as running small, and Castañer recommends one size up. Treat your usual size as a starting reference only, then add one. If you cannot try them on, order one size up rather than your usual size.
- What size should I order if I am between sizes?
- Choose the larger size. The tie closure can tighten the fit across the instep, but it cannot make a short footbed longer.
- Will the tie closure fix a loose or tight fit?
- The cintas adjust volume around the instep and ankle. They help if the shoe feels slightly loose, but they will not compensate for a footbed that is too short. If the length is wrong, change size.
- How should I test the fit at home?
- Wear them indoors on a hard floor for 20 to 30 minutes. Check that your longest toe has a little space at the front and that your heel stays on the footbed when you walk. Keep the soles clean so you can still return them. Test on a carpeted or clean indoor surface before wearing outside.
- Is the 9 cm wedge comfortable for all-day wear?
- The padded insole and jute wedge are designed for comfort, but 9 cm is a real heel height. If you are not used to wedges, break them in gradually rather than wearing them for a full day first.
