Correct Fitting Sizing Product Care Shipping Returns & Exchanges

Measure at Different Times

Foot size naturally changes throughout the day as your feet expand with use and time spent standing, so measuring at different times can produce slightly different results—measuring later in the day gives the widest fit that your shoe will need to accommodate.

Measure Foot Length
Place your foot against a wall and measure from heel to your longest toe. Measure both feet and use the larger.

Add approximately 8–12 mm to your foot length to allow for natural movement. This may vary slightly depending on the shoe style. For dress shoes 6 - 8 mm and for boots up to 10 - 15 mm. You want enough space so your toes don’t hit the front during movement, but not so much that your foot slides.

Measure Foot Width (Ball of Foot)
Measure around the widest part of your foot—the ball (where your toes meet your foot).

  • Stand with full weight on your foot
  • Wrap a tape measure snug (not tight) and keep it straight

This measurement determines how your foot sits and functions in the shoe. Compare your measurement to the footbed width:

When Trying On

  • Stand, don’t sit
  • Allow ~8 - 12 mm space at the toes
  • Ensure the widest part of your foot aligns with the widest part of the shoe
  • Heel should feel secure, without slipping

Protect from Day One

Before wearing your shoes outdoors, apply a suitable protective spray or treatment based on the material:

  • Leather (smooth): Use a conditioning cream or leather protector
  • Suede & nubuck: Apply a water and stain repellent spray designed specifically for textured leathers
  • Fabric or mixed materials: Use a general protective spray

This creates a barrier against moisture, stains, and daily wear. Reapply every few weeks depending on use.

General Cleaning Principles

  • Clean regularly—don’t let dirt build up
  • Always use a soft brush or cloth first to remove loose debris
  • Avoid soaking shoes unless they are specifically designed for it
  • Let shoes air dry naturally—never use direct heat

Material-Specific Care

Smooth Leather

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth
  • Apply leather conditioner to maintain softness and prevent cracking
  • Polish if needed to restore finish

Suede & Nubuck

  • Use a suede brush to lift dirt and restore texture
  • For marks, use a suede eraser or specialist cleaner
  • Avoid water where possible—always use protective spray

Cork (e.g. footbeds)

  • Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth
  • Avoid soaking, as cork can dry out or crack
  • Use cork sealant if the surface becomes dry over time

Rubber & Soles

  • Clean with mild soap and water
  • Use a brush to remove dirt from tread
  • Check regularly for wear to maintain grip and support

Odour Management

To minimise foot odour:

  • Allow shoes to air out between wears
  • Avoid wearing the same pair every day
  • Use antibacterial sprays or foot powders if needed
  • Natural options like baking soda (light sprinkle overnight) can help absorb odour
  • Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing

Storage & Longevity Tips

  • Store in a cool, dry place
  • Use shoe trees (especially for leather) to maintain shape
  • Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or drying
  • Rotate your shoes to reduce wear and allow full drying between uses
