How Shoescoo Sizing Works

- If you wear Allen Edmonds, choose your usual size.
- If you wear Cole Haan, choose your usual size.
- Shoescoo fits true-to-size (TTS) with a comfortable break-in.
Quick At-Home Measurement Method
Use this simple method to confirm your size at home:
- Put on the socks you normally wear with dress shoes.
- Stand with your heel touching a straight wall.
- Place a sheet of paper under your foot and mark your longest toe.
- Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters.
- Repeat with your other foot and use the longer measurement.
If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.

Fit & Feel

Care & Longevity
After each wear, brush with horsehair to remove dust. Condition with neutral cream every 6–8 weeks to nourish the leather, then add a light polish for extra shine. Insert cedar shoe trees to preserve shape and absorb moisture. Thanks to the Goodyear welt, the Aurora Loafer can be professionally resoled for decades of use.
