Sizing Info

Measurements of the espadrille soles

Please scroll to the end of this link to find tables for the espadrille sole measurements

Please measure and check your feet carefully to make sure you are ordering the correct size as we cannot currently offer free returns or exchanges in the event of poor fitting soles.

Sizing is personal but this guide below should help.  Please measure and check your feet carefully to make sure you are ordering the correct size as we cannot currently offer free returns or exchanges in the event of poor fitting soles.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT SIZE

Even if you know your shoe size, it is best to check the length of your longest foot against the measurements below. You want your longest toe to fill the length of the sole (or be no more than 1cm shorter than the length of the sole).

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT LENGTH

This is easier with someone to help you. Stand barefoot on a piece of paper and draw around your feet. Don't sit down as you want all of your weight on your feet. Then measure from the heel to longest toe of both feet - take the longest measurement to check against the sole lengths below.

If you have very wide feet, don't worry if your feet are wider than the width of the soles - the leather toe pieces will give you some leeway and 'contain' your feet.

PLATFORM SOLE SIZING
  • Sizes 36 to 41
  • Roughly 4.5cm height at heel and 3.5cm height at toe
  • Made from Jute rope and rubber foam
  • A lightweight platform 
  • Rounded wide toe base (inside line is straight rather than going in at big toe)
 FLAT SOLE SIZING
  • Sizes 35 to 43
  • 2.5cm height at heel and toe
  • Made from Jute rope and sturdy black ridged rubber 
  • Sturdier form of traditional Espadrille
  • More pointy narrow toe base (goes in towards big toe)
