    Add about a 3/4" or a thumb's width to the toe. Round up when in doubt.

  • Leather feels tight at first

    Thanks to the properties of the leather, the slipper will expand and mold to your unique foot shape. If you're not used to wearing leather shoes, the experience might be unexpected compared to wearing sneakers or plastic clogs. After a week of wear, the slippers will crease and mold to best support your gait and feet.

  • Pull-up effect

    Some upper leathers will lighten due to creasing and stretching. This is a feature of many workboot leathers we work with. This adds character to the footwear, in our opinion. This unique property can be manipulated and enhanced with shoe polish and other care products.

  • Personal preference

    At the end of the day, it's all about your personal preference. If you prefer a loose fit, go for a bigger size, if you prefer a more snug fit, go for a smaller one.
