Do these run true to size?

These run large. Size down one full size. TUK does not carry half sizes. If between sizes, stay with the smaller size.

Are these comfortable, and do they suit wider feet?

The flat or low-profile sole keeps the foot in a comfortable natural position, making these suitable for all-day wear. The strap construction holds the foot securely without pinching once the upper softens. The fit runs narrow across the toe box. Shoppers with wide feet should size up one full size.

What should I know before wearing the A9217L Kitty Face VLK Mary Janes for the first time?

Wear them at home for 30 to 60 minutes before your first outing to let the upper soften and settle around your foot. Break-in for this style is minimal. The polyurethane (pu) will ease with wear and feel noticeably more comfortable after the first few uses.

Who is this style designed for?

This style is popular with alternative fashion fans, harajuku dressers, cat lovers and anyone who enjoys novelty footwear with real personality. It works well for themed events, anime and pop culture conventions, casual everyday alternative wear and anyone who wants a playful, character-driven shoe.

Is this style vegan, how do I care for it, and how long will it last?

Yes, this style is fully vegan. The upper and all materials are synthetic with no animal-derived leather, suede or glues. To care for them, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap after each wear. Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and stuff with tissue to hold the shape. With regular care they hold up well through consistent use.

"perfect!!! surprisingly comfy and fit just about perfectly! so happy w them"

Raeanna (5/5)

Your very own Sabbath and NeeChee

"I love these shoes! Overall, they're comfortable to walk in, have great airflow in the summer, and are easy to maintain. After wearing them to work for two weeks, here are my thoughts: DURABILITY + WALKING: These shoes feel very sturdy and well-made. They have a bit of a weight to them, which feels nice to walk in, and the buckle holds the shoe to your foot very snug as you walk. I usually wear a size 7.5 but ordered a 7, which ended up perfect for me. There is just enough room for airflow and I haven't experienced any chafing with these shoes. In some pictures, I've loosened the buckle so that it is more readily visible on camera, but it can easily be adjusted to your size. During work, I scratched the eye of one of the shoes as shown in one of the images, but the markings are easily wiped off with a damp paper towel. Overall, after two weeks of constant walking and getting drops of miscellaneous chemicals on my shoes during work, I can confirm that these are comfortable to walk in and easy to maintain/clean. The material is resistant to most things you'll come across, and it is thick enough to not wear down anytime soon. AS SUMMER SHOES: They're nice and breezy. Despite being made of a plastic material, the shape of the shoes allows plenty of airflow around the tip and I haven't had any issues with heat. They're quick to dry after being taken off, and I've commuted places during the summer without discomfort. In the rain, they don't splash up water or anything as you walk, so your socks are perfectly dry. They're also waterproof and there aren't any open seams for water to reach your socks. APPEARANCE: They DO leave little bone prints in the dirt when you walk! It's so funny. I also appreciate that the cats look even better in real life because the whites of their eyes are nice and bright in the sun. Side note, but it's so easy to take pictures of these shoes because if you point your foot, it looks like the cat is looking at whatever you're pointing to. MINOR GRIPES: Despite being comfortable to walk in, these aren't that good for running. I don't know how many of us are constantly running in our daily lives, but I had to catch a bus once, and couldn't run faster than a jog. At the end of the day, they're funny-looking Mary Janes, not iron-toed safety shoes. If you want to avoid excessively creasing these shoes or rolling your ankles while making sharp turns, just take it easy and treat them as casual walk wear. OVERALL: I'm so glad I bought them. They fit perfect, they feel great, and look just as pictured."

"I love these shoes! They're super comfortable and sturdy. Compared to other shoes of similar build, these have harder soles that feel great (and durable) to walk in. The buckle is nice and shiny as well! I like how bright it looks in the sun. Most of all, I like how bright and fun they look. They're the perfect summer shoes in my opinion. SOLES: I tried stepping in some sand and there's little bone prints left behind! It's wonderful. CATS: I accidentally grazed my shoe against something and noticed a small black mark on the eye, which you can see in one of the pictures. The detailed stitching around the cat parts definitely makes it more of a hassle to clean, but it wiped right off with a damp paper towel and the colours did not budge. I'd still say it's easy to maintain. BLISTERS??? None so far. These shoes are surprisingly good to walk in. I normally wear a size 7.5, so I ordered down to a size 7 and they fit perfectly! With that being said, if your foot is a bit wider, I'd consider ordering a size up because it's undoubtedly on the slim side."

Cute shoes but they run BIG

"These are absolutely adorable. I originally ordered in my regular size 6 but they were HUGE on my feet. Had to return them for a size 5, the smallest size available. I have to buckle them at the tightest hole and they still feel a bit big when I wear them without socks. They are very comfortable, although they do need to be broken in."

LL (4/5)

Cute!

"Super cute shoes. Definitely need to have a breaking in period as they are pretty stiff. I found mine ran large and would definitely have ordered a size smaller."
