How to measure your feet

Fit notes

Fit and comfort

A refined instep, shaped for her. Choose using your usual EU size and the women’s US reference. The foot should feel held without pinching, with room for the toes to move. For advice between sizes, contact the Atelier.

Everyday wear

A loafer for everyday city dressing, from relaxed denim to tailoring. Begin with shorter wears to let the leather settle around the foot. Avoid soaking the pair and take care on wet or polished surfaces.

Between sizes or unsure about width? Share the length of both feet, your usual EU size and the socks you plan to wear with the Atelier for personal guidance.

Care & longevity

A few considered gestures help the calf leather keep its suppleness and the shoe retain its shape.

  1. Remove the dust

    After wearing, brush away loose dust with a soft shoe brush, then wipe gently with a clean, dry cloth. For a light surface mark, use a barely damp cloth without soaking the leather, then let it dry naturally.

  2. Nourish sparingly

    When the leather feels dry, apply a small amount of a care product suitable for smooth calf leather to a cloth. Test first on a discreet area, follow the product instructions, and finish with a clean soft cloth. Avoid household cleaners and abrasive products.

  3. Let the pair rest

    Allow damp shoes to dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sunlight. Let the leather rest between wears. Use well-fitting shoe trees to support the shape, and store the fully dry pair in its protective pouch.

  4. Look after the sole

    Check the leather sole and heel regularly. Ask a trusted cobbler about wear before it reaches the upper, and discuss any protective sole or repair with the Atelier. Avoid prolonged contact with water.

For a stain, treatment or repair question, send the Atelier a clear photograph of the affected area before applying a new product.

The designer’s notes

A quiet point of balance between tailoring and ease. Leave room through the leg, keep the hem deliberate and let the black leather give the silhouette its final line.
