Shoes Should Fit Your Feet — Not the Other Way Around
Most shoes are sold as a matching-size pair.
But feet don't always work that way.
For people whose left and right feet need different sizes, buying shoes can mean compromising on fit, using insoles to make up the difference, or even buying two complete pairs just to get the two shoes they actually need.
We think there should be another option.
DILIKS provides a split-size matching service designed to help customers get one pair of shoes matched to the needs of both feet.
Two Feet. Different Sizes. One Pair.
At DILIKS, you don't need to shop for separate left and right shoes.
Choose a style that supports our split-size service and tell us about each foot.
Depending on the style, we'll ask for information such as:
-
your usual shoe size for each foot
-
the length of your left and right foot
-
the brand and size you normally wear
Our team reviews this information and uses it to determine the appropriate size combination for the selected style.
We then handle the matching, checking, pairing, and final inspection before your order is shipped.
You tell us about your feet. We handle the matching.
A Service, Not Just a Pair of Shoes
Creating a split-size pair requires more than simply picking a box from a shelf.
Each order requires individual attention to the customer's sizing information and the shoes being matched.
That's why DILIKS separates the value of the footwear from our Split-Size Matching Service whenever applicable.
The service covers the work involved in reviewing your sizing information, matching two different sizes, checking the shoes, creating the final pair, and preparing it for shipment.
Pricing is shown clearly before checkout, so you can understand what you're paying for.
Why DILIKS Exists
DILIKS didn't begin with the perfect idea.
Our journey started with the ambition to build an independent footwear brand and went through more than one change of direction.
Eventually, a surprisingly ordinary experience changed the question we were asking: a pair of shoes didn't fit quite right.
After measuring both feet, our founder discovered that they differed by about half a size.
That led to a bigger question:
If half a size can make a noticeable difference, what happens to people whose feet differ by a full size or more?
The search for an answer eventually led us here.
Instead of creating another shoe and asking people to buy it, we're using the footwear supply chain we already know to solve a specific problem for people who need different sizes.
You can follow that journey, including what we're building and learning along the way, in Building DILIKS.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple:
Make it easier to buy shoes when your feet aren't the same size.
We're building DILIKS to give people with different-sized feet more choice without requiring them to buy two complete pairs or settle for an uncomfortable compromise.
We're still early, and we'll continue improving our sizing process, shoe selection, and split-size matching service as we learn.
Different feet deserve a better fit.
