READY MADE. SIZE 41. The Terilyn. Black Hair On. 3cm heel

Character: This leather is a beautifully luxurious hair on cow leather meticulously dyed and tanned in Italy.  It is soft, spongy, thick, and cozy.  For shoes, the leather contracts quite a bit once the last is removed, so a very snug initial fit is recommended to allow it to stretch well.  Hair on leather is not what is considered "Fur".  It is cow leather where the hair is not removed (as in typical leathers).

Hair on leathers are print dyed on the surface of the hair, so edges where the hair has been cut can have variation in the look of the print.

Care: It is best to use a suede brush or a damp cloth.

This leather is sourced from a family run company in Barcelona. All of their leather is tanned within Europe, using European steer.  This particular one is tanned in Italy with strict European standards by one of the premiere tanneries specializing in hair on cow leathers.

There are inherent variations in natural leathers, handmade manufacturing, and local sourcing.  Color and texture variations can vary within the same hide.  Different monitors can also display colors differently.  You may indicate any preferences in tone or texture in the Notes to Shoemaker section if you are looking for something specific so we can do our best to accomodate.

Our insoles are cut from a thicker vegetable tanned leather than typical shoes to help with breathability and shock absorption. 

The midsole, which serves as the chassis for a shoe, is also made of a vegetable tanned soling leather sourced from the US and Spain (we never use the typical factory cardboard).  The material is also ideal for bacteria and odor prevention and great shock absorption. 

Between the soles is a layer of cork.

Our soles are sourced from a family run sole manufacturer in Portugal in an area reknowned as one of the shoemaking capitals in Europe. Our soles and heels are made of Italian vegetable tanned leather. The heels are stacked leather or wood, no hollow plastic core heels, and rubber slip resistance.  

We manufacture in Europe so have highest standards in glue safety, toulene free.

Makers: Our shoemakers are the absolute heart of our work. Handmade to order shoes require a deep understanding of the leather as it is being stretched and formed around the mold, of patterns and materials.  Read more on our small and wonderful team of craftsmen here.

WIDE LASTING:

Wide lasted shoes do not have a wider footprint, but instead increase the volume around the width and arch to the size larger while maintaining the length.

A STORY ON SIZING:

I typically wear a size 9.5US to 10US (40/41EU) in factory made shoes.  Factory made shoes typically have a stiff plastic layer between the leathers which aggravate my toes and heels.  

My length measurement is 255mm, which is a 39EU by our size guide, matching my size in my early adult years.

Comparing those two bits of info, I am a 39 by length, but need the volume of a 40/41 now as my joints have spread and my feet have become wider, so I opt for a 39 WIDE in our shoes and boots WITH NO LACES OR STRAPS.  For shoe WITH LACES OR STRAPS, I can securely wear a 40 standard and just make the laces/strap snug to fit.  Since I have a high instep, I can wear a 40 standard width in our Sandy style as my instep takes up some length

For our mules and sandals, I am comfortable in the largest of my factory size range, so a 41.
