Shipping & Sizing

A loafer has no laces to take up slack, so the size has to be right rather than close. Measuring your foot takes about a minute and is far more reliable than the size you think you are — sizing differs enough between brands that guessing is the main reason a pair ever goes back.

Measure your foot

  1. Do it at the end of the day. Feet are at their largest by evening, and a shoe fitted in the morning can be tight by dinner.
  2. Put a sheet of paper flat against a wall and stand on it with your heel touching the wall and your weight on that foot.
  3. Mark the paper at the tip of your longest toe. That is not always the big toe — check before you mark.
  4. Measure from the wall edge to the mark in centimetres.
  5. Do both feet and use the larger figure. Almost everyone has one foot bigger than the other.
  6. Wear whatever you would wear with the shoes — thin socks, or none.

Now find your measurement in the chart. If you measure in inches, multiply by 2.54 first.

We make EU 39 to 45. UK and US figures are the usual equivalents and vary a little by brand, so treat the foot measurement as the reliable column.

How our loafers fit

  • They run true to size for most feet — order the size the chart gives you.
  • Between two sizes? Size up. A slightly roomy loafer can be worn; a short one cannot.
  • Wide feet or a high instep — size up. With no laces, the instep is where a loafer feels tight first.
  • Suede relaxes a little with wear and moulds to the foot. Polished leather gives less, so do not count on it stretching.
  • If you wear them barefoot, as most do in summer, stay with your measured size rather than dropping one.

Still not sure? We will tell you

Send us a photo of the size label inside a shoe you already wear and we will tell you which EU size to order. It is free, it takes a minute, and it is quicker than an exchange.
