The Ada has a sacchetto construction and is designed for a flexible, glove-like feel. The Ada runs true-to-size and features an adjustable cord for a customizable fit. If between sizes or widths, we recommend taking the smaller size.

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 bows can be tightened to customize the width around your foot as needed.

The Ada has a comparable fit to The Daphne.

The Ada's cord is adjustable (much like The Demi), 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 here 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.

As an unstructured shoe, The Ada 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.

Routinely cleaning patent leather will help preserve its quality, maintain its shiny appearance, and keep it free from scratches. Wipe off any dust or dirt with a microfiber cloth. Then dampen the microfiber cloth with a little bit of water to gently wipe down the leather. For added shine and to buff out any markings, gently apply leather cleaner specifically formulated for patent leather.
