FAQ
General Information
How do I find the right shoe size?
Machino provides a size chart that converts their EU, US, and UK sizes to MAC sizing. You can refer to our printable shoe size guide here. Do take note that shoe size can change over time due to factors like ageing, weight gain or loss, and pregnancy, so it's essential to measure your feet periodically to ensure you're wearing the correct size.
Do you have a physical outlet?
At the moment we don't have a physical outlet in Singapore but we do have a store in Malaysia.
Our physical store is located at 55, Jalan SS 18/6, Ss18, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
Our store's opening hours are Tuesday - Sunday 11AM-6PM.
How often should I replace my shoes?
It's generally recommended to replace your shoes about every six months to a year. However, the lifespan of a shoe can vary depending on factors such as the type of activity it's used for and the individual's foot mechanics.
Regularly inspect your shoes for signs of wear and tear, and pay attention to how your feet and body feel when wearing them.
How should I care for my shoes?
The care instructions for shoes can vary depending on the material and style of the shoe, but generally it's recommended to clean them regularly with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap, and to store them in a cool, dry place. You can also use shoe protectors or waterproofing sprays to help prolong the life of your shoes.
Regular maintenance and cleaning, along with appropriate storage, can significantly prolong the life of your shoes and keep them looking good.
How do I break in new shoes?
To break in new shoes, it's best to wear them for short periods of time at first, gradually increasing the amount of time you wear them each day. You can also try stretching the shoes with a shoe stretcher or by wearing thick socks while breaking them in.
When will out-of-stock shoes be restocked, and can I reserve or purchase them once they are available?
For limited-edition shoes, restocking is unlikely due to fabric scarcity. However, we occasionally restock our bestselling designs, so follow @itsmachino on Instagram andTikTok, and subscribe to our newsletter to get first hand news. We do not take reservations; sales are first come, first serve to ensure fairness.
Is there any shoe purchase limit for online and offline purchases?
For selected shoe designs, there will be a limit of one shoe purchase per person, that will be communicated prior via social media postings or our Sales Assistants. Machino reserves the right to limit or deny purchases for limited edition pieces at its discretion, without prior notice, to ensure fair distribution and availability to all customers.
