Asked Questions

How do I know my size in The Demi?

The Demi is an unstructured shoe with an adjustable cord for a customizable fit. If you are between sizes or widths, we recommend taking the smaller size.

Due to the handwoven construction and open weave, the Woven Demi has a more relaxed, looser fit than the regular Demi. If you’re between sizes, we recommend that you take the smaller size in the woven version.

How do I know my width in The Demi?

Medium width is considered standard, so if you generally find standard widths comfortable in other shoes, we suggest taking a Medium. However, if you find that other shoes often pinch or feel too tight around the ball of your foot, the Wide is a fantastic option to try. It is made on a combination last, with the toe box being the only area that is wider. (It's also a great option to try if you have bunions.) The Narrow will be more narrow throughout the entirety of the shoes; it's a good option if you find your foot frequently slips or feels insecure in a standard width.

Additionally, the working bow on your Demis can be tightened to customize the width around your foot as needed.

How do I care for my Demis?

Our nappa Demis are made from a soft, Italian nappa and flexible leather soles. Nappa leather is permeable, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion. Our suede Demis are made from Italian suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray, like those provided in our suede care kit. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

How does the fit compare to other styles?

The Demi is an unstructured style and will have a softer, less structured, and more flexible feel than our other flats, like The Pointe.

How do I adjust the bow?

The Demi's cord is adjustable, so you can customize the fit to suit you preferences. If you notice any looseness or slipping at the heel of your shoes, tighten the cord to cinch the fit while your shoes are off the foot. You can find a video in this blog post showing you how to tighten the cord. And if you notice any tightness or digging at your heel, simply untie the cord while the shoes are off your foot, loosen the knot, and retie the bow.

How much can I expect The Demi to stretch?

As an unstructured shoe, The Demi will soften and give in width with wear. If you find that the fit changes over time, you can always use the adjustable cord to tighten or loosen the fit to your preference.
