FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Sizing, delivery, returns, and care β€” answered.

How do I choose my size?

The Aurora runs true to size β€” order your usual US size. Between sizes, size up; wide feet, size up once. Not right? We offer a free U.S. size exchange, and your new pair is handcrafted in about three weeks. See the size guide near the size selector for the full US/EU/UK chart.

How long until my shoes arrive?

Every pair is made to order in our Gaziantep workshop, then shipped free to the U.S. β€” most orders arrive in about three weeks (roughly two weeks of crafting plus tracked shipping). Have a wedding or event coming up? Order at least four weeks ahead.

What if the fit isn’t right?

You’re covered. Free U.S. shipping and returns, a 30-day window, and a free size exchange. If you exchange, your replacement pair is handcrafted to order in about three weeks.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes. The Aurora is Blake-stitched with a leather sole, so a cobbler can resole it when the time comes β€” built to be repaired and worn for years, not thrown away.

What leather do you use?

Full-grain leather β€” the top layer of the hide and the highest grade. It’s more durable than corrected or β€œgenuine” leather and develops a rich personal patina as you wear it.

How do I care for them?

Brush off dust after wear, apply a matching cream now and then to nourish the leather, and use cedar shoe trees to hold their shape. Avoid prolonged wet exposure β€” if caught in rain, stuff with paper and let them air-dry naturally.
