Downloadable size reference sheet
-
For your reference, download and print the size sheets that corresponds to our sizes. Please remember, the size sheet corresponds to the insole, not the outsole (aka the size of the entire shoe).
What's my size
-
Print size guide
Print out the desired size sheet and tape them together. Use a ruler to measure the inch square on the corner to double check the printing ratio.
-
Step right up
Place the foot on the sheet, making sure the foot is in the center of the page.
-
Leave space for the heel
A finger-wide gap between the heel and the bottom of the insole ensures a more secure fit.
-
Rule of thumb
Add about a 3/4" or a thumb's width to the toe. Round up when in doubt.
-
Women's size example
In this case, the thumb is covering the line for size 6 and hits size 7, which will be the best fitting size.
-
Men's size example
In this case, the thumb is covering the line for size 10 and hits size 11, which will be the best fitting size.
Good to know

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.
