Size (EU)Foot length in cm

Going up a size makes the sandal longer, not taller. It will not fix a tight instep — the strap anchor points move forward, not upward.

Three things to know before you buy

One · where this pair can rub

Outline of a foot seen from above with the rub points of this sandal numbered12
Numbers match the list. Positions are indicative, not to scale.
  1. 1

    In the gap between the first and second toe

    A toe-post sits in a skin fold that has almost no callus. Sweat softens the skin there, and the post moves against it with every step.

    What reduces it: Wear short indoors first. A padded post sleeve or a small anti-rub pad wrapped around the base of the post spreads the contact.

  2. 2

    Along the back heel edge

    The rear edge of the footbed meets the heel at an angle while the leather is still firm.

    What reduces it: The edge rounds off with wear. Until it does, an oval anti-rub pad on the heel edge — not on your skin — takes the contact.

Two · break-in

It is the post that needs breaking in, not the strap. Expect 3–5 short wears before the post stops registering between your toes.

Leather Strap Softener — USD 28

Three · barefoot wear

Worn barefoot, the footbed takes sweat directly. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth after each wear and let it dry away from direct sun. The leather will darken where the ball of your foot and heel sit — that is patina, and it is a characteristic of unfinished leather, not a fault.

Pads cut for the 2 points marked above

in the gap between the first and second toe, along the back heel edge — the shapes in this set are cut for exactly these positions. They go on the sandal, not on your skin.

Sizes, in centimetres

EU numbers are not a unit of length. Measure your foot from the wall to your longest toe and read the centimetre column instead.
