Amina Muaddi shoes are sized in EU sizes, and the house marks most styles as true to size on the product page. The house also says, on its own FAQ, that some models fit small and that it recommends going up half a size to a full size on the PVC styles, especially the pointed ones such as the Begum, the Rosie and the Holli, and that the Alexa slipper tends to fit small too. That is the whole sizing story in two sentences. The rest of this guide is the conversion table, the style-by-style detail and what to do if you sit between sizes.
The conversion table
This is the table Amina Muaddi publishes on its own size guide. The UK column runs in half sizes, which is unusual and worth reading twice: an EU 38 is a UK 5.5, not a UK 5.
| EU (Italian) | UK | US |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | 2.5 | 5 |
| 36 | 3.5 | 6 |
| 37 | 4.5 | 7 |
| 38 | 5.5 | 8 |
| 39 | 6.5 | 9 |
| 40 | 7.5 | 10 |
| 41 | 8.5 | 11 |
| 42 | 9.5 | 12 |
The house sells half sizes from 35.5 to 42.5 and a 43 on some styles. Luxury Handbags lists the whole sizes from EU 35 to 42.
Which styles run true to size
The satin, nappa, suede and patent slippers and sandals on the signature heel are the safe ones: the Lupita, the Gilda, the Juliette, the Gigi, the Felicia and the Dalida. Their product pages carry the house’s own line, fits true to size, and an EU 38 in these is the 38 you wear in other Italian labels. The Anok family on the classic stiletto sits in the same group.
Which styles run small
Three groups, all named by the house itself. First, anything in transparent PVC: the Glass versions of the Begum, the Gilda, the Lupita and the Alexa. PVC does not stretch, so the house suggests half a size to a full size up. Second, the pointed slingbacks, the Begum, the Rosie and the Holli, where a long toe box takes up room. Third, the Alexa slipper, which the house says tends to fit small in every material. One Holli on Luxury Handbags carries the house’s own note, fits slightly small, and is listed with a size-up verdict.
If you are between sizes
Go up on any pointed style and on anything in PVC. Go up on the Alexa. On a square-toe slipper with a single band, the Lupita above all, stay with your usual size: the band holds the foot and a size up will slip at the heel. On a sandal with an ankle strap, the Gilda and the Anok sandal, your usual size is right because the strap does the holding.
Bags
The bags are one size. Each product page lists the length, height and depth, and the styles guide explains what each bag holds: the Camelia clutch takes a phone, a card case and a lipstick, the Ami clutch is the long one at 32 cm, and the Camelia Micro is a phone bag.
Returns
Every Amina Muaddi piece at Luxury Handbags is authenticated before dispatch and ships worldwide by DHL Express and FedEx International Priority. Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, so local duties and taxes fall due on import; the full terms are in the logistics and returns protocol. If a size is wrong, the returns protocol sets out the window and the condition the pair must come back in, unworn with the sole unmarked, so try a new pair on carpet.
“We recommend sizing up from a half size to a full size up for models made from PVC”, the house says on its own FAQ, naming the pointed Begum, Rosie and Holli and adding that the Alexa slipper “tends to fit smaller”. Luxury Handbags lists whole sizes, so take the next size on those.

Frequently asked questions
Do Amina Muaddi shoes run true to size?
Most do, and the house marks them so on the product page. The exceptions the house names are the PVC styles, the pointed slingbacks such as the Begum, the Rosie and the Holli, and the Alexa slipper, all of which fit small; go up half a size to a full size on those.
Should I size up in Amina Muaddi Glass shoes?
Yes. The house recommends half a size to a full size up on the PVC styles, because PVC does not give. Luxury Handbags lists whole sizes, so take the next size up.
What is an Amina Muaddi EU 38 in UK and US sizes?
UK 5.5 and US 8 on the house’s own table. The UK column runs in half sizes across the range: 35 is 2.5, 36 is 3.5, 37 is 4.5, 39 is 6.5, 40 is 7.5, 41 is 8.5 and 42 is 9.5.
Are Amina Muaddi shoes comfortable?
The signature heel stands on a wider base than a pin heel of the same height, so the 95 mm styles are easier to stand in than the number suggests, and the 45 mm mini signature on the Juliette and Gigi is a day heel. Satin and nappa give a little with wear; PVC does not.
Does Amina Muaddi make half sizes?
Yes, from 35.5 to 42.5, and a 43 on some styles. Luxury Handbags carries the whole sizes from 35 to 42, so if you are a half size, follow the style advice above: up on PVC, pointed and Alexa styles, your usual size on the square-toe slippers.
