Your Questions Answered
How do I determine my proper size?
All of our styles are true to size; however, each unique silhouette differs numerically.
You can expect to take a different sizeway for Sabahs, Turkish made backless Babas, & El Paso made Babas. You can view the exact style type on the relevant product page.
We recommend selecting the numerical size that directly corresponds to your typical EUR/US shoe size in the drop down menu on each specific product page.
We certainly understand that juggling various numbers, sizes, & fits can feel daunting at first, so please do not hesitate to drop us a line for guidance & support!
How should my pair fit?
For an ideal fit, your heels should come just shy of or right to the back edge of the insoles. The natural leather will stretch and form to your feet with wear.
Your toes should touch the end of the pair with some pressure; however, they should not be curling.
It typically takes 3-5 good wears for your Babas to begin notably stretching throughout.
That said, the Baba style is initially a touch more relaxed than the Sabah (full shoe).
Why do El Paso made Shearling Babas differ in numerical size from Turkish made Shearling Babas?
The differing methods of craft in each workshop lead to alternate numerical sizing on the final last. The history of shoe making in each setting brings forth these unique elements of production.
We recommend selecting the numerical size that directly corresponds to your typical EUR/US shoe size in the drop down menu on each specific product page.
Can I return my pair for refund, credit, or an exchange?
Of course!

Does the Shearling lining effect the fit?
Our Shearling Babas do, indeed, fit a touch differently than our standard Babas due to the added shearling lining.
We recommend selecting the numerical size that directly corresponds to your typical EUR/US shoe size in the drop down menu on each specific product page.
