Sizing

Please see the product fit guide under the item description, which is based on a standard shoe fit. All of our women's shoes have a standard B width. Please send us feedback if you find that your size doesn’t align with our sizing suggestions.

If you are between sizes, we recommend that you order a half size up for boots and a half size down for shoes or sandals. If you plan to wear thick socks with your shoes, go for a half size up.

At this moment, we do not offer wide or narrow width shoes. All of our shoes are regular (B) width only.

Don't worry, all of our shoes are marked using the European (EU) size scale.

Most of our shoes run from EU 34 up to EU 42. Please consider buying another shoe model that is available in your size. For more detailed information please visit our Size Guide.

We have some clients who wear our shoes with orthotics. However, our insoles are not removable. Our shoes’ footbed is padded just in the heel area, as in classic dress shoes (not a removable insole).

Our shoes’ footbed is padded just in the heel area and doesn't have arch support (as in classic men's dress shoes). Therefore, they're a bit tough and need a "break in" period of 4-6 days.

As our custom shoes are made in full grain leather, they must stretch out a bit after wearing them for a couple of days. Check out some leather stretching tips here

If you are not sure whether you should exchange the shoes for a smaller size, we advise you to wear them with insoles. If the shoes are still loose, then you should go one size down. However, if the shoe fit with insoles is good, then going to a smaller size might result in a snug fit.
