The Right Shoe Project
Shoes are made in many factories around the world and even models within the same brand can be quite different. To assist our customers in choosing the right size, we measure every shoe we receive. All this information is compiled so you can simply enter the length of your foot in centimetres, choose your preferred fit, and our calculator will recommend a size for you! Then, as you browse the website across various brands and models of shoes, we will provide a recommendation of your sizing in each model.
Still not sure? If you're in Brisbane, feel free to come in to our store in Milton for a fitting. Otherwise, you can contact our team for assistance and advice. If you would like to contribute to helping other customers please contact us with your shoe size, foot length and how well your shoes fit.

NikWax Down Wash Direct is the only technical cleaner specifically designed for hydrophobic and regular down which cleans effectively, restores water repellency and maintains fill power and insulation.
Down-filled apparel, blankets, sleeping bags, etc. are used to provide lightweight insulation to keep you warm: down allows air to be trapped between its filaments and warmed by body heat. Through use, dirt and body oils build up on down items, affecting both the outer fabric and the down fill. Dirt attracts water; if the fabric absorbs water, rain and condensation can easily transfer into the down.
If down gets wet it clumps together, causing it to lose loft and insulation, as it can't trap air effectively. Water conducts heat away from the body up to 25x faster than air. Wet down will also gain weight and significantly reduce breathability, leaving you cold, wet and uncomfortable. Therefore it is vital to stop down-filled gear from getting wet by applying Durable Water Repellency (DWR). Through extended use, all DWR will eventually wear off and need to be renewed.
Use NikWax Down Wash Direct when your down items soak up water. They could be absorbing water because the DWR has been compromised by dirt, or because it has been cleaned with a conventional laundry detergent, which leave hydrophilic (water-attracting) residues.
NikWax Down Wash Direct will:
Once the gear has been thoroughly used, you will need to add DWR using Nikwax Down Proof after cleaning first with Nikwax Down Wash Direct. This will add DWR to the outer fabric of the gear and also the down fill.
HOW TO USE
Sleeping bags and very large jackets are best hand washed in a bath or equivalent and then spin dried in a washing machine.
