BELSTA Slippers Size Guide — US, EU & UK Sizes
BELSTA slippers are hand-stitched in Ukraine on European lasts and marked in EU sizes. The most reliable way to choose is by foot length — measure once, match it in the chart, and you're done. The charts apply to both open-toe slides and closed-toe winter models. Most models are true to size; the exceptions are listed below.

Sizes in the charts are foot length, not insole length.
How to measure your foot
- Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall. Stand on it with your heel touching the wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe (it's not always the big toe).
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters or inches. Repeat for the other foot and use the larger number.
- Find that length in the Foot length column — that's your size.
Measure in the evening, when feet are at their largest, and wear the socks you'd normally wear with slippers, if any. Between two sizes? Choose the larger one — slippers should sit comfortably, never snug.
Narrow, medium or wide width
Most BELSTA models are a standard medium width. Some are cut on a different last, and the product page shows a Select width option:
- Narrow — for slim feet that usually slip at the heel or feel roomy across the instep: the Champagne, Midnight, Noir, Chambray and Pom-Pom slides, the Ash and Ivory fluffy slides, and the closed-toe Mischief. See all slippers for narrow feet.
- Wide — extra room across the forefoot, for wide feet, bunions or swollen feet: the Bone Felt and Puppy Felt mules.
Models that run large or small
Every product page states the fit under the size selector. As of now:
- The Blossom Slippers — run large; consider going down a size if you're between sizes.
- The Gilded Slippers — run small; consider going up a size.
- The Peach Terry, The Blush Plush, The Tomcat Felt and The Mischief — run small (closed, snug-cut vamps); order one size up.
- All other models — true to size.
Frequently asked questions
I usually wear a US 7 — which size do I order?
Women's US 7 sits between our 6.5 (EU 37) and 7.5 (EU 38). Measure your foot: up to 23.5 cm choose EU 37, from 23.6 cm choose EU 38. If in doubt, take the larger size.
Is EU sizing the same as European shoe stores?
Yes — the EU number on our slippers is the standard European shoe size, the same you'd see on a European shoe box.
Do closed-toe slippers fit the same as the open-toe slides?
Yes — same lasts, same sizes. The only difference is that a closed vamp has less give than an open slide, so if you're between sizes on a closed-toe model, take the larger one.
Do the slippers stretch?
Velour and linen uppers soften slightly with wear; felt and plush uppers hold their shape. In every case the stitched construction holds — don't buy a tight pair expecting it to stretch a full size.
