FAQ
Q: Do your retro boots and flats follow U.S. standard sizing? How to choose the right size?
A: Yes, all our footwear follows U.S. standard sizing guidelines. To choose the right size:
- Refer to the size chart on each product page, which includes detailed foot length and width measurements for boots and flats.
- For retro boots: If you have wide feet, select our wide-width options; if you plan to wear thick socks with boots, size up by 0.5. Ankle boots and knee-high boots have consistent sizing, but we recommend checking shaft height measurements for a proper fit.
- For flats: Most styles have a snug, true-to-size fit; if you prefer a looser fit, size up by 0.5. Platform flats may have a slightly different insole length—refer to product notes for details.
- For lacing straps: Measure the circumference of your shoe’s ankle area and match it to the strap’s adjustable length range listed on the product page. Contact our customer service team for personalized strap fit recommendations.
Q: What materials are your retro boots, flats, and lacing straps made of, and are they durable?
A: We use high-quality, vintage-inspired materials that balance style and durability, meeting U.S. safety standards:
- Retro Boots: Leather (cowhide, suede) for classic 1950s/1960s styles; synthetic leather for vegan options; rubber soles for slip resistance and long wear. Suede boots are treated with a water-repellent coating to prevent staining.
- Retro Flats: Canvas for casual 1970s styles; leather for dressy vintage looks; jute soles for a bohemian retro vibe. All flats have reinforced toe caps to prevent wear and tear.
- Lacing Straps: Leather, woven cotton, or nylon; metal buckles for secure adjustment. Straps are double-stitched for durability and can be trimmed to fit smaller shoe sizes if needed.
Q: How to clean and maintain retro footwear and lacing straps?
A: Follow these material-specific care guidelines to extend product lifespan:
- Leather Boots/Flats: Wipe clean with a damp cloth; condition leather every 2-3 months with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Avoid exposing suede to water—use a suede brush to remove dirt and a suede protector spray for stain resistance.
- Canvas Flats: Machine wash in cold water (remove laces first) on a gentle cycle; air-dry to prevent shrinking. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
- Lacing Straps: Wipe leather straps with a damp cloth; hand-wash cotton/nylon straps in mild detergent. Avoid soaking metal buckles to prevent rusting.
