Duties & Taxes
When visiting our website from outside the UK, 20% UK VAT is automatically deducted from product prices. So the price you see online is the excluding VAT price..
International customers can choose to purchase using a fully landed, duty-paid price. This allows you to pre-pay applicable duties, taxes and associated fees so there are no unexpected charges on delivery.
Duties, taxes and associated fees are calculated by our partner, Swap Global.
For replacements or repairs sent to non-UK countries, no duty is normally charged to the customer.
Import duties, taxes and customs clearance fees paid to your local customs authority or courier are not collected by A Fine Pair of Shoes and are therefore not included in any refund following a return.
Depending on your country's regulations, you may be able to reclaim these charges directly from your local customs authority or courier.

If you wish to cancel your order before it has been dispatched, please call us on 01926 954563 or contact Customer Service at info@afinepairofshoes.co.uk.
We will cancel the order and issue a full refund. Confirmation of cancellation will be emailed to you.
Once an order has been shipped, it cannot be cancelled and must instead be dealt with under our returns and refund policy.
This sizing guide aims to provide you with as much information as possible to ensure the best fit for you. We have provided internal length measurements in the table below for every last shape so that you can make an informed choice.
Steps to getting the best fit
- Measure your own feet in centimetres. The simplest way to do this is to draw around your feet on a plain piece of paper, keeping your pen vertical at all times. Then take a measurement from the heel to the tip of the longest toe.
- Round up the measurement to the nearest 0.5cm and then add 1cm extra to this measurement (if you have slim or regular width feet), or add 1.5cm to this measurement (if you have wider feet).
- Look for the required brand and last on the table below and read downwards to find the size closest to your required measurement.
(Example 1: You measure your feet and your longest foot is 27.9cm. Round this up to 28cm. Now add 1cm at least to this (29cm). You're interested in the 915 Berwick last, so read down this column until you get 29cm. This would mean you'd need a size 9 UK in this last.)
(Example 2: You measure your feet and your longest foot is 31.3cm. Round this up to 31.5cm. Now add 1cm at least to this (32.5cm). You're interested in the 4444 Trickers last, so read down this column until you get 32.5cm. This would mean you'd need a size 12 UK in this last.)
Please note: these are only recommended length guides based on an average foot and will not give you an indication of width, depth or feel when the footwear is on the foot. We provide these measurements as an approximation of fit, but we make no guarantee that choosing a size based on this advise will be accurate.
If you have a low or high volume foot you may need to adjust the required size up or down accordingly.
Please be advised that we accept no liability for returns, should you disagree with any sizing assistance we have provided.
All measurements are shown in centimetres (cm)
If you still require sizing assistance after reading these charts, please do email us at info@afinepairofshoes.co.uk.
International Sizing Conversion Chart
The conversion from American to UK and European sizes can be complicated because of rounding differences. Shoe models and manufacturers often have size differences. A UK 10 in one model may be a size US 10.5 or US 11 depending on the model or manufacturer. For this reason, the table below serves only as a rough guide and may simplify your search.
