Fit & sizing
Finding your size
Please refer to our size guide above for the most accurate fit, or reach out to our customer experience team for detailed sizing guidance.
How your new shoes should feel
A good fit should feel snug without pinching: the heel secure with no slipping, while the toe box allows a small amount of movement. This offers better support, reduces excessive movement, and promotes proper foot placement for comfort and stability.
After a few wears, the sole and upper will gradually conform to the shape of your feet, providing an even better fit.
Care
- Rotate between wears and insert shoe trees after use to help retain shape and minimise creasing.
- Use a shoe horn when putting them on, and take them off by hand rather than stepping out of them, to protect the heel.
- Once dry, wipe the upper gently with a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and surface marks.
- Protect the upper with a product suited to its material (a leather conditioner for smooth leather, a suede/nubuck protector spray for suede or nubuck) before first wear, and refresh periodically, especially after cleaning or exposure to moisture.
- For scuffs or marks, use a cleaner suited to the upper material and avoid harsh liquid cleaners where possible.
- Let the sole dry at room temperature if it becomes damp and keep away from direct heat sources.
- If you expect frequent wear in wet conditions, consider a protective sole treatment for extra grip and added longevity.
- Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How to measure your feet:
1. Wear the socks you would normally pair with this style of shoe. 2. Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace its outline. 3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe using a ruler. 4. Match your measurement to the table above and adjust for foot shape accordingly. Note: The CM and Inch values above correspond to the recommended size based on your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.
Adjust for foot shape:
– Normal: Choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide: Choose a half size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: Choose the smaller size if your measurement falls between two sizes.

Anatomy of the Espadrille in Light Grey Suede
-
1
Suede upper
Soft grey suede with a low-cut throat, unlined so the shoe breathes in the heat.
-
2
Whipstitched edge
The upper is stitched down to the sole with a visible cord seam, the espadrille signature.
-
3
Rounded toe
A soft, generous toe: this is a shoe built for comfort before formality.
-
4
Jute-wrapped sole
Braided jute around the midsole, with a rubber tread underneath for real-world grip.
For the hottest weeks of the year.
The espadrille is a summer shoe with a braided jute midsole and a soft suede upper: light, breathable and meant to be worn without socks.
Pairs with linen, shorts and rolled chinos, from the terrace to the beach road.
Upper in suede with a jute-wrapped sole, as described for this product.
Made to be looked at closely.
-
Light grey suede
A fine, matte nap that stays cool and keeps the shoe looking soft rather than structured.
-
Whipstitched edge
The cord seam joining upper to sole is the detail that makes an espadrille an espadrille.
-
Jute midsole
Braided natural fibre, light underfoot and unmistakable at a glance.
-
Rounded toe
Roomy at the front, made for bare feet in August.
-
Low collar
Cut low so the shoe slips on and off without fuss.
So comfortable straight out of the box. I have worn them almost every day since they arrived.
The stitching and finishing are flawless. Feels like a shoe that will last a decade with care.
Lovely pair, though they fit a half size large for me. Went down half a size on my second order and it was perfect.
Honestly did not expect this quality at the sale price. The sole is proper leather and the shape is elegant.
Exactly like the pictures. The colour and grain are spot on and the box was beautiful.
Slim, refined and easy to walk in all day. I get compliments every time I wear them.
Bought a pair for my father and he was thrilled. Looks far more expensive than it was.
Took a couple of days to break in and now they feel moulded to my foot. Real leather does that.
Glad I caught them before the size sold out. A genuinely well made shoe at a price that will not return.
The finish on the toe is gorgeous and the leather smells like the real thing. Very pleased.
You can tell these were made by hand. The stitching is even and tight all the way round.
I have worn them to two weddings already and people keep asking where they are from.
These feel properly handmade, not mass produced. The welt and sole are beautifully done.
Genuinely sad the workshop is closing. Wish I had found them years ago.
Understated and elegant, exactly what I wanted. Goes with everything from jeans to a suit.
I own pairs that cost three times as much and these hold their own easily.
Sturdy, refined and clearly built to last. The leather is thick and full-grain.
Perfect for the office. Smart, comfortable and they have kept their shape all season.
At this price it is almost unfair. A proper leather shoe for a fraction of the usual cost.
The leather has aged into a lovely patina after a few months. Only gets better.
Comfortable from the very first wear, barely any break-in needed for me.
Slightly snug at first but they moulded to my foot within a week. True leather behaviour.
A timeless shape that will never look dated. So glad I bought a pair before they went.
The full-grain leather is beautiful and only gets better with wear. You can feel the welt is stitched, not glued.
