Frequently Asked Questions:
Where are the
pictures? You mean I'm supposed to order a pair of shoes without
seeing what they look like first?
The ladies at Comme il Faut have explained
to me that they want to make sure that your shoes are unique and
authentic, so they've asked that I not post pictures online of
the shoes I have for sale. You're more than welcome to come by
the showroom to see what I have in stock. Send me an email
and we can set up an appointment.
How
do I order a pair of these amazing shoes?
Che Locas shoes are not currently available
online. Please come by the showroom!
How
does the sizing run? I'm a 7 1/2. Can I get a half size?
Comme il Faut sizes run about the same as
American street shoe sizes, but they don't make half sizes. I
am a half size, and I've found that the open-toe styles in the
smaller size, or closed-toed sizes in the larger size, work great.
Bessie makes half sizes., but I strongly recommend trying the
shoes on to get a sense of what styles and brands work for your
feet.
What's
the difference between an "open-toe" and a "peekaboo" toe?
Here's a rough visual
aid so you can get an idea. I drew that, so don't make fun
of it. If you have wide feet, go for the open-toe, while narrow
feet will be more comfortable in the peekaboo.
Are
the soles leather or suede?
The soles of the Comme il Fauts are made
with high quality leather, which means that you can wear them
out on the street without having to worry about ruining them.
You can create a suede-like sole by scuffing up the soles with
a wire brush or on the pavement. This is a good idea as the soles
can be really slick otherwise.
The Bessie shoes come with either suede or leather, so that you
can choose the right shoe for the surface you'll be dancing on.
What
if the shoes don't fit? Can I return them?
Absolutely! We can do an exchange or a refund
as long as the shoes are returned unworn and in good condition.
That means that the soles should be unscuffed, so try them out
on carpet until you know for sure you're going to keep them.
When
do you get new shipments?
It depends, sometimes it's once a month,
sometimes every other month. I always send an announcement to
the Portango-a
list, so you can sign up there to get my notices.
I
saw the most amazing pair of Comme il Fauts last night on another
woman's feet. Can I special-order that exact
pair from you?
Probably not. Which is actually a good thing
if you think about it. I mean, who wants to see her fabulous new
shoes on everyone else's feet? Comme il Faut makes small batches
of each style, and except for their classic designs, they rarely
make the exact same style twice.
If you have something specific in mind (size, color, heel height,
open-toe, sandal or peekaboo toe, single strap, crossed strap, ribbons,
etc.), you can email me and I'll ask for it in my next order. They'll
send me what they have that is closest to your request.
