How Does Click and Collect work?

You can opt to select Click and Collect as a delivery method once items have been added to cart and you have started the check out process.

SHOE FITTING AND CARE

How do I work out what size I need?

A good starting point to determine your size is to take a look at our size guide, this will help you navigate the difference between NZ/AUS, European and UK sizing. If you still require some more clarity, we have a Blog article here all about finding the right fit including some helpful tips on how to measure your foot.

You may also find the foot shape blog here useful in pairing the shape of your foot with the shoe shape of the shoes you are interested in.

If you have any specific fitting requirements please contact your local Mikko store for advice.


I’m interested in a particular shoe and would like to know more details/how it fits.

Please call your local Mikko store and speak to one of our knowledgeable team members. They will be able to take a look at the shoe for you and talk you through some considerations.


A shoe I am interested in has sold out of my size, are you able to order in my size?

If your local store has sold out of a size, but one of other stores has once available, we can request it in for you to try at your local store. However, if all of our stores have sold out of your desired size, we are unable to order any more from the supplier for you.


Can you order in a shoe from another store for me to try on at my closest store?

Yes, we have weekly stock transfers between our branches and can send an item to your closest store to try on with no obligation to purchase. Please let us know what item you are interested in and we will arrange this for you.

Holds & Requests
Please note, items put aside for holds or requests in our stores are not available to be sold in store for 48 hours, however all items in stock, whether on hold or not, are still available to be sold online. If an item that you have requested does sell online, one of our team will contact you to notify you that it has been sold. We recommend that if you are committed to a style, to make a purchase to avoid disappointment.


Do you have shoes that cater for different foot widths and/or orthotics?

Yes we do, most shoes will be made to a standard fit, however each brand and style can vary slightly in their fit. Contact your local store to discuss your needs with our knowledgeable in store team to find the right fit for you.

To assist shopping online we have a wide feet friendly category on our website which indicates the styles which are more generous in width, as well as an orthotic friendly category, these are styles which feature a removable insole that you can replace with your own orthotic.


How do I look after my shoes?

Every shoe we stock at Mikko Shoes is special in its own way. All of our shoes are leather, unless they are made of textile or another material better suited to the purpose of the shoe. Leather is a natural product and like skin, has a unique character. It has natural pores, scars and is finer in some areas and rougher in others – just as nature intended. Different types of leather need different care and we have created a care guide for easy reference.

We recommend that Total Protector (waterproofing spray) is applied prior to wearing new shoes to protect effectively against water, oil and dirt.
