FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sizing, delivery, returns, and care β answered.
How do I choose my size?
The Summit 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 isnβt right?
Youβre 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 Summit 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. Itβs more durable than corrected or βgenuineβ 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.
