hey guys welcome back to my channel or
welcome if you're new today I have a
video specifically about Rafi's and
Rafi's sizing so the purpose of this
video is to help you if you are thinking
about buying Rafi's to help you buy the
right pair in the right size and not
have to return or exchange your shoes
unfortunately I learned this hard way I
had to return two separate pairs of
shoes from Rafi's because they were the
wrong size so hopefully this video will
be a quick little summary of how the
sizing kind of works with Rafi's that
they run large or small and hopefully
this will help you pick the right pair
if you're not familiar with Rafi's or
just looking for a more of a general
review video I have actually posted two
other videos about Rafi's one is just
kind of my general first review of the
product and then I have another review
which is kind of an update video where I
share how the shoes hold up over several
months of wear and a few additional pros
and cons if you've never tried Rafi's
long story short they are pretty much my
favorite shoes I highly recommend them
if you are interested in purchasing them
I do have a $20 off coupon code so it
would be totally awesome if you use that
actually $20 when you use it as well so
it's a win-win for both of us if you are
thinking about buying
Rafi's okay so if you are interested in
learning more about the sizing then just
keep watching
so let me get right into it the sizing
for Rafi's runs small they are very snug
shoes I have two pairs I have the
rounded toe this is my toe I have the
router to version and a pointed toe so I
can talk about the sizing for both both
of these run small so first let's talk
about the rounded toe so the rounded toe
was the first style of Rafi's that I
purchased my normal size is a size 9 I
wear size 9 and probably 75% of the
shoes that I wear so I originally
ordered the Rafi's in a 9 of course they
were too small I had to size up to a 9
and a half so what I would recommend I
think there's a few situations that you
should size up half the size if you are
thinking about buying Rafi's it's
specifically for the rabbit toe shoes so
number one if you are between sizes it
kind of go 5050 between sizes you're
definitely going to want to size up the
second scenario is if you are primarily
one size but occasionally size up then
you still probably are going to want to
size up that's kind of my scenario for
the Rabbitohs shoes so I would suggest
sizing up if you get the shoes and
they're too big you can always size down
or you can size up for that matter but I
would recommend going with a size up if
you are at all between sizes if you're
very solidly one size or unlike the
smaller end of a size maybe you can get
away with just going the full size but
just something to keep in mind if you're
between sizes now for the pointed toe so
I would say the pointed toe also runs
small when I initially ordered that
these this was my second pair of Rafi's
I ordered a nine and a half because I
thought nine and a half is my size I had
to return these again for at ten I would
say the point
to run at least a half size small of
course all business personal preference
you know if you like a snugger fitting
shoe then you know where whatever size
you want but for my experience I think
these run half the size to a full size
small for the pointy toe shoes I think
there are a few scenarios again that
you're going to want to size up number
one if you are between sizes size up if
you have a primary size but occasionally
size up
you should size up also specifically
with the pointed toe and also a certain
degree with the rounded toe if you
prefer kind of a more professional
appearance to the shoes and you you
don't want them to look as casual I
would suggest sizing up in that scenario
either half a size or potentially even a
full size the reason I say that is
because with these shoes they are a knit
material they are very flexible it's not
like a leather shoe where your feet
conform to the shoe these are really
conformed to your feet so if they're
very snug around your toes you are going
to see some like ridges around your toe
you're kind of kind of see not your
actual skin of your toe but you're going
to see it very tightly wrapped around
your toe and you're going to be able to
see the outline of your toes personally
in my opinion I think when you can see
that leg or so is it it makes the shoes
look a little bit more casual I don't
think there's anything wrong with that
but if you are looking for a little bit
more professional look where you can't
really see that I would recommend sizing
up specifically for the pointed toes
because they are very form-fitting to
your feets so if that is something that
you think would bother you I would size
up half the size at least but the other
things specifically to consider it with
the pointed toe if you are someone who
is not used to wearing pointy toe shoes
I would recommend sizing up in that
scenario
well Rafi's specifically says on their
website that many customers like to size
up in the pointed toe flats simply
because of the shape of the toe when you
get your toe in there it does feel more
constricted you can see just how like it
narrows at the top and it does narrow
kind of earlier on than the router 2
ones so if you're someone who's not used
to having your feet in pointy toed shoes
it may just be more comfortable for you
to just size up and just not have to
worry about it size up half a size just
so the fit of this shoe does feel a
little bit roomier and more comfortable
and then finally I think the final
scenario where you would want to size up
is if you just prefer a little bit more
of a looser should I say or less
constricting flats I know some people
like to have very tight fitting flats
where there's their heel is not shifting
around at all it's very form-fitting
personally I don't like that as much I
like to have a little bit more wiggle
room where I can kind of wiggle my toes
around and just feel a little bit more
air in my shoes so if you're in that
camp also I would size up as well so
I've seen a lot of questions online
about how to how Rafi's does their
sizing if the sizes run small or large
hopefully this video helps you into that
question if you have any experience with
Rafi's if you agree or disagree with my
sizing recommendations let me know down
in the comments down below and once
again if you are thinking about buying
Rafi's I would love it if you would use
my $20 coupon code and of course you get
$20 off your order by doing that as well
