I have had Tieks for a few years now, so I wanted to answer some questions I often get on Tieks sizing. Different material requires different sizing
The most common question I get around my favorite pair of flats are Tieks sizing and when Tieks go on sale. I'm here to give you the scoop!
Tieks Sizing
Tieks sizing is pretty simple. If you are a whole size, get that size. If you are a half size, round up! They do take a while to break in depending on which line you purchase (see Tieks Classic versus Vegan headline below). But overall, the rule of thumb is to round up if you are a half size.
Tieks Discounts
There are none. Not even on Black Friday. Tieks do not have Black Friday sales. Ba-humbug. They do come out with a new color sometimes (like 2016 was a champagne color).
Tieks Classic versus Vegan
If you are already sold on a pair of Tieks and are wondering which of their lines to order from, here are my tips. Please note that while these sound like cons, I just want you to know that I wear these almost EVERY day. Which means that these shoes get a lot of wear and tear. Like literally every day.
Are Tieks Worth The Price
I know the price is a hard pill to swallow, but they are SO worth it. I've heard others say they could get a pair of Tory Burch (s) for the same price. However, I have been told they are not quite as comfortable and can rub on your heels. You could probably get fifteen pair of Target flats for the same price.
Tieks Comfort
As a weekend wedding photographer, I'm sometimes on my feet for 12 hours straight. So I would say 14 hours total. Yes, crazy. And they are still comfy at the end of the night!
What is a little miss tike?
