Size chart
Locate your foot length in the chart below. If you are between two sizes, always select the larger one.
| EU Size | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US Size | 4.5 | 5.5 | 6.5 | 7.5 | 8.5 | 9.5 | 10.5 | 11.5 | 12.5 |
| UK Size | 2.5 | 3.5 | 4.5 | 5.5 | 6.5 | 7 | 8 | 8.5 | 9.5 |
| Foot length (cm) | 22.0 | 22.5 | 23.0 | 23.8 | 24.5 | 25.0 | 25.5 | 26.3 | 27.2 |
| Sole length (cm) * | 22.5 | 23.0 | 23.8 | 24.5 | 25.0 | 26.0 | 26.5 | 27.2 | 28.5 |
* The sole is always slightly longer than the foot. This is intentional, to allow natural movement of the toes. We measure from the back of the heel to the front edge of the footbed, as shown opposite.
Sole measurement method
Check your foot width
Measure your foot at two points and compare with the reference below to make sure the sandal will fit comfortably across your foot, whatever style you choose.
| EU Size | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front foot (cm) | 20.5 | 20.5 | 21.3 | 21.5 | 22.0 | 22.0 | 22.7 | 23.0 | 23.0 |
| Back foot (cm) | 21.5 | 21.5 | 22.3 | 22.5 | 23.0 | 23.5 | 24.0 | 24.5 | 24.5 |
Wrap a soft tape around the ball of your foot (the widest part, just below the toes) to get your front measurement. Then wrap it around the back of your foot at the heel for your back measurement. No tape measure? Use a strip of paper, mark it, then measure with a ruler.
How to get the right measurement
Takes two minutes. You need a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a ruler.
- Place a sheet of paper flat against a wall.
- Stand with your heel pressed against the wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe with a pencil.
- Measure the distance in centimetres, this is your foot length.
- To check width, wrap a soft tape around the widest part of your foot.
- This is the ball of the foot, just below where your toes begin.
- Compare your result with the foot width chart in Step 02.
Feet are naturally slightly larger at the end of the day. Measuring in the evening gives the most accurate result, and ensures a comfortable fit from morning to night.
The answer is always larger.
Leather cannot stretch to compensate for a size that is too small.
Comfortable from the first wear. The leather will adapt to the shape of your foot over time.
Too tight. The leather will not stretch enough to compensate.
To Pad or Not to Pad ?
Rubber soles are anti-slip pads that also protect the leather sole of your sandals. You can add them when you order, or later through a cobbler. Here is everything you need to decide.
Your two options
Both are valid. The right choice depends on how and where you plan to wear your sandals.
Option 01
Add them now
Select the "Pads" option when placing your order. We install the rubber soles in our atelier before your pair ships. Ideal if you plan to wear them on city streets or slippery surfaces straight away.
Option 02
Add them later
Wear your sandals for one summer on natural leather. The sole gradually moulds to your foot and becomes less slippery with wear. After the first season, take them to a cobbler to have rubber soles fitted for the next.
Lisbon's pavements are notoriously slippery. If you are based here or visiting a city with similar streets, we strongly recommend adding rubber soles from the start.
Two schools of thought
There is no wrong answer. Here is how each approach works in practice.
Practical first
Add rubber soles from day one. You get immediate grip and protection on the leather sole. Your sandals are ready for any terrain, any city, any summer.
The purist approach
Start on bare leather. The sole softens and shapes itself to your foot over one season, giving a more personal fit. Then protect what you have built with rubber soles for the seasons ahead.
Without rubber soles, you can speed up the break-in by walking on gravel or textured surfaces. This reduces the initial slipperiness of a new leather sole after just a few days.
