Why are the sizes in EU sizes?Avarca Pons is a family run company based in Menorca, Spain. As such, the original sizing has been created according to the European Market. Please refer to the question/answer below and sizing instructions in your shoe selection to ensure you're buying the right size.
-
I want to make sure I buy the right size for my shoe, what do I need to do?Avarca Pons shoes are handmade with natural leather and they will stretch slightly with continuous use, so Avarcas should fit snugly on your feet. We recommend comparing your foot measurement with our sizing chart to make the best choice. All measurements are taken from the stitching around the sole, between the heel and toe stitches (not the full length of the shoe's sole), this helps to ensure your foot will fit within the stitching footprint. When purchasing Paris, Stuttgart, Lhasa, Treviso or Clean Ocean models, we recommend you to size down the size recommended above. ​ * UK Size is only used as an approximation. Avarca Pons "true size" are EU sizes, in case of doubt on sizing, please take the measurements as explained in this section to select the best size for you.
