Suede Shoes Fashion Statements!


Suede Shoes have been very popular this Summer and their style is expected to carry on through the months into Autumn, despite their relationship with rain!


Celebrities have been wearing Suede shoes as a Fashion statement for decades.

One of my all time favourite Actresses, Sandra Bullock is pictured here wearing some gorgeous high heeled Suede shoes.

And suede is no longer Leathers enemy!

If like Katy Perry you love to stand out in the crowd with your footwear then check our our gorgeous Swear shoe collection. They have got two blue shoes that really stand out in my mind for me.



        SWEAR Billie 01                          SWEAR Laura 04
      Price £159.00 £79.50                     Price £129.00 £64.50

If however you are not a huge fan of the colour then we have got plenty more where they came from! Another one of my favourite's are the Women's Opening Ceremony Designer W23 Polka Dot Boot which are just stunning with their quality style and outstanding craftsmanship. You definitely get what you pay for with these.

Price £225.00

Suede shoes age very nicely if taken care of. The ripples in the surface colouring that are created from rubbing the suede in various directions over time and wear gives birth to a beautiful texture that only Suede can deliver.


Teamed with trousers, jeans, skirts, shorts or dresses Suede shoes give an air of class and a touch of smart to any outfit.

Expect to see Suede shoes with ankle trousers and big scarfs this Autumn!

Our Guide to Buying Men's Shoe and Getting the Right Size!



Mens Shoes Size 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11


Do you know yours?
Mens UK size 6 is a USA size 7


Mens UK size 7 is a USA size 8


Mens UK size 8 is a USA size 9


Mens UK size 9 is a USA size 10


Mens UK size 10 is a USA size 11


Mens UK size 11 is a USA size 12

Mens UK size 12 is a USA size 13

In the UK the average shoe size for men is size 9 to 10, so not a big difference there. But this can make it tricky finding your size in stock.


But not to worry! Mr.Shoes understand and is here to help you.
When you find a shoe you like and if we’re currently out of stock in branch, we will do our best to find it for you at one of our other branches!


We can then order it in for you with a small deposit, or mail it to your home address when you pay in full! Easy.
But sizes aren’t something to be taken for granted. As I’ve discussed in my women’s sizes blog, both foot size and manufacturers vary.


For most people, one foot is slightly bigger than the other! And depending on the make, you may go up or down an entire size.
Espadrilles are known for needing to go up a size (but once you’re up there it’s perfect!)


Where as sandals, since they don’t restrict the foot as much as regular shoes, you could well go down a size.


           Espadrilles                                                Sandals
Material also makes a difference, cloth and leather footwear give with wear.


So if an 8 is snug and a 9 is baggy, it’s worth taking the 8 home and either stretching it with normal wear or if it’s really snug, you can have them professionally stretched.
When it comes down to it you want to be comfortable and if that means trying on three pairs of shoes over one, go for it!


Don’t forget your feet swell in the afternoon!
And never be afraid to ask.

Our Guide to Buying Women's Shoe and Getting the Right Size!


Women’s Shoes Sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8..


What’s your size?
Women’s UK size 3 is a USA size 5

Women’s UK size 4 is a USA size 6






In the UK the average shoe size for women is a size 8 swiftly followed by a size 6. That’s a whole size in between! Proving just how different we all are. But it’s not just us that vary, shoe manufacturers differ too. And when you factor in the difference in UK and USA sizes (there is usually at least one American brand in stock) it can all get very confusing! But not to worry, here at Mr.Shoes we aim to make your shoe shopping experience an enjoyable one.
Your first step is to find out what your average size is. You can use a chartor go into store to get yourself measured. They will measure the length of your foot and decide from there what size should fit you best.

Remember most people’s feet are slightly different sizes, some people differ by a whole half size!
Your next step is to pick out some shoe styles you like and put them on! Try to make them different. Heels, flats, trainers, open toe etc.


As your feet vary, so do the shoe styles!


For example, you may find yourself going down a size in sandals and heels but up a size in pumps and espadrilles.
Brands also play a part.


Toms original espadrilles are a great example because they are one of the most comfortable flats I’ve ever owned, but I had to go up a size and now they fit perfectly.

They are also an American brand, which means a UK size 6 is a USA size 8. So I ended up going home with a 9!However with the new Fashion London Army Military boots, a size down (size 5 for me) fit like a glove. One of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn!



So your best bet is to do some personal research and find what suits you!
And if you’re shopping for a style you haven’t worn before, go ahead and ask for two sizes, just to be sure!
