The Downtown Boot runs true to size, so we recommend ordering based on your usual US size. We've accounted for the tapered toe in our size conversions, so there's no need to order a size larger in length or width.

Though the style runs true to size, do keep in mind that The Downtown Boot is designed to be worn with light- to medium-weight socks. Therefore, If you plan to wear them with a thicker sock, we recommend ordering up a half-size or width.

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.

Our suede Downtown Boots are made from Italian calf suede, a luxe and 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. Our calf Downtown Boots are made from Italian calf leather. Calf leather is not waterproof, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion.

The Downtown Boot is a structured, block-heeled boot with a comparable fit to our other heeled boots, like The Boot.

The shaft height refers to the length of the boot from the top of the heel to the top of the boot (i.e., how high the boot comes up on your ankle or calf). The shaft height of The Downtown Boot measures approximately 14cm on a size 37. This measurement will scale up or down proportionally from there depending on your shoe size.
