Size Guide

Find Your Perfect Fit

The right fit is just as important as the right style. Our formal shoes are designed to offer both structure and comfort — but to get the best experience, choosing the right size is essential.

This guide will help you find the correct size based on various international standards and foot measurements in centimeters (CM) and inches.

5	6	39	24.4	9.6″
6	7	40	25.4	10.0″
7	8	41	26.0	10.2″
8	9	42	26.7	10.5″
9	10	43	27.3	10.75″
10	11	44	28.0	11.0″

How to Measure Your Foot

Place a sheet of paper on a hard floor against a wall.
Stand barefoot with your heel touching the wall.
Mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper.
Measure the distance from the wall to the mark — that’s your foot length.
Compare your measurement with the CM column in the chart.

Fit Tip:

If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for comfort.
Our shoes have a standard width. If you have wider feet, consider going half a size up or contacting us for assistance.

Fits true to size
We recommend ordering your usual size in formal shoes. If you’re between sizes or prefer a slightly relaxed fit, you may size up for added ease.

How your new shoes should feel
Our shoes are designed to offer a structured, secure fit from the first wear. Due to the added side padding and the premium leather construction, they may feel slightly snug initially—especially around the midfoot. This is completely normal.
With 1–2 wears, the leather will begin to soften and naturally mold to the shape of your feet, offering a personalized fit that enhances comfort and support. A close fit improves posture, prevents heel slippage, and ensures your shoes age beautifully.

• Keep away from water, oil & permanent dyes.
• Keep away from intense heat & humidity.
• Use a soft bristled brush or soft cloth to remove dust from your shoes.
• To retain the sole's moisture, apply clear polish to the sole.
• When the crease is fresh and minor then massage the shoe with a leather friendly oil until the crease disappears completely.
