Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing & Fitting

Do you have a sizing guide?

We do - Check out our Sizing Guide here. We would generally suggest trying your standard AU/US size in our shoes.

What country is FRANKIE4 sizing based on?

All FRANKIE4 footwear is based on standard US sizing. The US sizing guide is consistent with Australian, New Zealand, and US sizing.  Head here to check out our sizing guide.

I have a wide foot, will your shoes fit me?

Yes - most closed toe FRANKIE4 styles come with our Sole Saver Pack™️ so that you can achieve a tailored fit each and every time. If you have a wider foot, try our half-length footbed. This footbed offers the same heel and arch support as our full-length footbed, while allowing you some extra room at the forefoot. Check out our video on how to achieve a wider fit here.

Wanting a slide or sandal? Most of our open toe styles are designed with a ‘B’ width fitting. We do suggest trying out the pair you like as the upper can affect how the shoes fit. We also offer a range of slides and sandals that feature an adjustable upper to accommodate a wider fit.

If you would like help choosing a particular style for your foot type we’re here to help.

I have a narrow foot, will your shoes fit me?

Yes - most closed toe FRANKIE4 styles come with our Sole Saver Pack™️ to ensure that you can achieve a tailored fit each and every time. Simply place a forefoot cushion, found in your Sole Saver Pack™️ under the full-length footbed, towards the front of the shoe. This cushion will secure your foot and provide a snugger fit. Check out our video on how to achieve this here.

Do FRANKIE4 shoes accommodate orthotics?

When looking for an orthotic friendly option, the key is finding the styles to accommodate the volume and shape of your orthotic without affecting your fit. Comfort is key - so finding the right style is important.

Most of our flat or low heeled FRANKIE4 styles that feature a removable footbed can accommodate orthotics. Look for styles that feature our Sole Saver Pack or Custom Control Pack, these features mean the footbed is fully removable, and you can try your own custom orthotics.

Please note, as your orthotics are unique to your feet, not every one of our styles will suit. To know if a style is right for you it is always best to try on. We offer a great returns policy so you can shop with confidence.

My heel is slipping out of the back of the shoe. Do I have the right size?

It is important to ensure the laces and straps are done up nice and firm, (make sure you’re comfortable, of course). This will help to secure the shoe to your foot.

If you have purchased an enclosed toe style which comes with our Sole Saver™️ pack, you can use a forefoot cushion under the full-length footbed towards the front of the shoe. This will help to shift your foot into the back of the heel counter which in turn can help to minimise heel movement.

Are FRANKIE4 sandals and slides orthotic friendly? 

Orthotic friendly slides and sandals can become quite ‘chunky’. Our designers (including Podiatrists) have designed styles that will give you the support you crave without the bulk.

On the surface, some of our sandals may look flat, but the support and comfort is packed in there through our dual and triple layer support and cushion system. Soft and smooth cushioning on top, with a firm and contoured layer on the bottom to help support the heel and arch.

Read more about our Sole Hero™️ footbeds here.

Will the leather in your shoes soften with wear?

FRANKIE4’s are made with high-quality leathers. Any natural material, like leather, will conform and mould to areas that are under pressure. So yes, with wear, the shoes will soften and mould like any leather shoe.

I have heel and/or arch pain (plantar fasciitis), will FRANKIE4's be suitable for me?

Founded by Podiatrists, our footwear is designed with body mechanics in mind, with the aim to alleviate and prevent heel and arch pain, plantar fasciitis, and forefoot pain.

You can read more about how our styles alleviate and prevent heel pain here.

I have bunions, will FRANKIE4’s be suitable for me? 

Styles that include our Sole Saver Pack™️, enables you to adjust the footbed set up to provide you with additional space at the toe box, giving the bunion some extra room to sit in. Simply remove the full-length footbed and replace with the half-length footbed to allow for some more space.

Most enclosed toe styles also feature soft foam lining specifically placed within the toe box area of the shoe, which helps to reduce any friction in the area where your bunion may be.

If you would like help choosing a particular style for your foot type we’re here to help.

Are any FRANKIE4 styles a good walking or travelling shoe?

We love the feedback we receive from our FRANKIE4 community who travel in our footwear. 

We would recommend a pair of our sneakers for travelling where you plan on lots of walking. Do keep in mind, due to the soft materials and leather uppers, FRANKIE’s have not been designed for off track walking and our leather styles are not waterproof.

Check out our sneakers here.

What is the Custom Control™️ Pack?

Included with our Mae style is all you need to adjust the fitting to suit your foot type and desired feel under foot.

Choose our cushioned FRANKIE4 Lite footbed for a soft, minimalist feel, or the FRANKIE4 Sole Hero™️ footbed for a more supported feel. The pack also includes a set of forefoot cushions so you can achieve your best fit.

To learn more about the Custom Control™️ Pack, read here.

Care

How do I care for my shoes?

We make our shoes from a variety of beautiful leathers and materials. They will need care to ensure their longevity.

Please visit our care page here for details on how to look after your shoes.

Can I purchase a new set of footbeds?

We don't sell our footbeds or Sole Saver Pack separately. Our removable footbeds are included as a pack with our footwear and we have invested in patenting this, making it one of kind. If your footbeds need a little freshen up, read some tips on our care here.

Should I be waterproofing my shoes?

Yes, we suggest you waterproof (most) of our styles prior to wear. For more information on how to care for your shoes, visit our care page here.

Can I put my shoes in the washing machine? 

Despite temptation to place your dirty shoes in the washing machine, we strongly, would not recommend doing this.

Leather is a hydrophobic material meaning it does not react well with water. This combined with the spin of the washing machine can both irreparably damage the leather and structure of your shoes.

If your shoes have become dirty, we'd recommend brushing all loose dirt off with a soft cloth or brush and then using Collonil Classic Clean & Care Foam to remove marks, following the instructions carefully. For more persistent marks or scuffs, you can use a polish in the same shade as your shoes.

Can I put my shoes in the dryer?

No, please don’t put your shoes in the dryer. The heat will destroy the beautiful leathers by dehydrating the fibres. Please view our care instructions here.

Can I put my footbeds in the washing machine?

Our footbeds are leather lined, this means that placing them into the washing machine can cause some damage to the leathers which can’t be reversed.

We find that wiping them down with baby wipes and allowing them to air dry in a shady place is very effective. Ensure they’re alcohol-free wipes and that they’re fully dry before placing back into your shoe.

How do I care for my shoelaces?

We recommend washing your shoelaces either by hand, or by putting them through a delicate machine cycle in a delicates bag.

Is the packaging my FRANKIE4's came in recyclable?

Every time you order from FRANKIE4 you can feel good knowing that our shoeboxes, stuffing paper, cardboard sticks and printed wrap are made from recycled materials—and are all 100% recyclable.

How does FRANKIE4 production affect the environment? Does the supplier recycle?

In our commitment to keep shoes out of landfill for good, we've partnered with TreadLightly—a national recycling initiative powered by the Australian Sporting Goods Association (ASGA) and Australia’s premier footwear recycler, Save Our Soles.

Drop your pre-loved shoes and footbeds into designated bins in-store for them to be recycled responsibly. Items will be given new, meaningful life as springy mats for playgrounds and gyms. 

We accept ALL shoe brands, not just FRANKIE4. Together, over the last six months, we saved 2,303 pairs of shoes from landfill and stopped over 23,032 kgs of CO² from being released into the atmosphere—and we're just getting started. 

Join us in making a powerful difference in 2023.

Do your supply companies produce their goods in a fair and responsible manner?

At FRANKIE4 we pride ourselves on our sourcing of high quality leathers from around the globe to ensure that our footwear is stylish, functional, and lasts the distance. It's important to us that all FRANKIE4 leather products come from reputable companies. We buy from New Zealand, Italy, India, Pakistan and China.

Our leather vendors are required to test the items for banned substances. The chemical vendors also have the same test.
