Why 80% off?
We are closing the workshop. Every pair still on the shelf leaves at a fraction of what it cost to make, and when a size is gone it will not be made again. Not a promotion — a farewell on our own terms.

Fit & sizing
Fits true to size – take your usual size
If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — leather softens and moulds to your foot within the first week.
Care
- Wipe the upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear.
- Let them air out between wears to keep the inner lift fresh.
- Store in the travel bag away from direct heat and sunlight.

How to measure your feet
1. Wear the socks you usually pair with these shoes.
2. Place your foot on a sheet of paper and trace its outline.
3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe with a ruler.
4. Match your measurement to the table and adjust for foot shape. The CM and inch values correspond to your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.
Adjust for foot shape
– Normal: choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide and/or high instep: choose a full size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: choose the size closest to your measurement.

What our customers say
Real photos from our customers
Didn't think anyone would notice the extra height, and that's the whole point. I just look a bit taller — no one asks how.
On my feet all day at a conference and the inner lift never bothered me. Comfortable from the first hour.
I'm 5'7 and these quietly put me near 5'10. I stand straighter, feel better in photos, and nobody can tell.
Bought a pair for a wedding and now I wear them everywhere. They look like a normal shoe — that's what sold me.
Second pair already. The height is subtle enough that even up close they just look like good shoes.
Was skeptical about the comfort but the cushioning is real. Walked airport to hotel without switching shoes.
Fit true to size and gave me the few centimetres I wanted without the clunky look other brands have.
Honestly a confidence thing — same outfit, a bit more height, I feel sharper. Shipping was quick too.
