    • Size & Fit Guide

      Our boots are made in standard boot sizing. We recommend ordering your usual boot size.

      1. Standard sizing

      If you normally wear a whole size (e.g. 9, 10, 11), order the same size.
      → If you wear 10D, choose size 10.

      2. Half sizes (e.g. 8.5, 9.5)

      If your usual size is not available, we recommend sizing up.
      → 9.5 → choose 10

      If you need further help, please check the size chart or contact customer service.

      How to choose width option

      • The E last is the standard fit for most customers, offering a balanced, streamlined silhouette.
      • The EE last is a wider option, designed for those with higher insteps, broader forefeet, or flat feet, providing extra comfort.
      • Returning customers can choose their usual leather shoe size in the E last; new buyers are also recommended to start with the E last in their regular size.
      • If the E last feels tight or presses on the instep, it’s often due to the full-length insole padding. Removing it temporarily allows the vegetable-tanned leather midsole to mold to the foot.
      • After breaking in, the padding can be reinserted for a customized and comfortable fit.

    Timeless Construction. Repairable. Reliable. Reasonably Priced.

    Our boots use Goodyear welt construction, known for its strength, water resistance, and easy resoling. This method lets you replace the sole without damaging the upper, making the boots truly long-lasting. Made to be worn hard, repaired easily, and kept for years — all at a price that stays fair.

      The leather feels great. These are my first pair of boots, and although the wait was quite long, it was worth it.

      My personal suggestion is to choose your athletic shoe size for the E-last. I wore a size 42.5 for athletic shoes, and I bought it for a size 42, which fit perfectly. Thhe customer service showed sincerity and handled the situation proactively, which I appreciate.

      The shoe last is beautiful and very comfortable. I'm looking forward to see how it will age.
