Do not order your sneaker size! We are aware that our shoes are different from any other company, hence we recommend that you measure before you buy because we know that a size 5 for a child in a brand such as Nike will not be the same for our shoes as we have designed and develop our own patterns and shoe forms. See how to measure below.

Do not order your sneaker size! When we started making shoes five years ago, we found that there's not a standard shoe length, that each continent and brand develops their shoes based on their designs and geographical location, so there's really not a standard size in the world to go by; so yes, we are aware that our shoes are different from any other company, hence we recommend that you measure before you buy because we know that a size 5 for a child in a brand such as Nike will not be the same for our shoes as we have designed and develop our own patterns and shoe forms.
How To Measure Your Feet:
If you are not sure what size to get, measure your child's or your feet before buying. Do not use your sneaker size as a size guide! Our customers report our sizes run TTS (true to size).
1. Have your child (or you) stand on a piece of paper with feet slightly apart. You may tape the paper to your wood floor to keep paper from slipping from under your feet.
2. Mark the end of the longest toe and the back of the heel (have someone else measure your feet). Step off the paper.
3. With a ruler, measure the distance between the heel mark and the longest toe mark.
4. Take your measurement and match it with the measurements in the “Inches” column in the size chart.
Helpful Tips * Wear socks when measuring your feet.
* Measure your feet at the end of the day; your feet tend to expand throughout the day.
* Measure both of your feet to get an accurate size as one may be bigger than the other.
* If your child has wide and chunky feet, or if you have a wide instep and high arches, you may want to go one size up.
* We have included "Inches" measurement which would be the same as your child's actual foot measurement.

Choose Your Leather
Made to Order:
This item is made to your order. Please note that your boots will take 2-3 weeks to make plus add one week for FedEx or USPS to deliver to your door.
Design
Handcrafted in Antigua Guatemala by skilled master cobblers who love their craft. Our cobblers still use their hands to cut, pull, hammer, and glue the different steps; this process leaves a human signature on each pair, making them a true heirloom.
Features
Our Explorer Sandals in Brown are made from full grain Pullup leather. The leather finish is done with oils and waxes that give unique character, durability, and patina with use. Full grain refers to hides that have not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed (as opposed to corrected grain) to remove imperfections (or natural marks) on the surface of the hide. The "grain" also remains allowing the fiber strength and durability. Full grain leather. Rubber soles. High performance insoles. Sizes 4, 5, & 6 have a Velcro closure, which changes for a metal buckle for larger sizes.
Sustainability
Our leather is responsibly sourced from our award-winning tannery. Each piece of leather is hand-cut and handcrafted by artisans that partner with us to deliver to you the most authentic artisan-made products.
A note about sizing...
Please measure before you buy! We no longer offer free exchanges for kids' shoes. Our sizes run differently than what your child may currently be using, so the best thing is to measure. Do not size up, our boots already include extra space for socks and growth, always measure first with socks and then look up our size chart for the best fit using our Printable Size Chart.
A craftsman cuts the leather by hand, choosing the leather carefully and making sure that he follows the grain of the leather, his expert eye tells him the best way to cut each piece. He then sews each piece with accuracy and exactness only seasoned cobblers have mastered. Each upper body is placed then in the shoe form and with skilled and strength, the master cobbler dresses the form and prepares it to attach the leather sole. The soles are then layered, one on top of another, he then cuts and sands the leather to perfection. Once the glue is dry the leather Artisan then carefully builds-up the finish with an expert’s eye, and touch, to achieve an aged patina in just the right places to reflect the aged qualities only time, wear, and frequent care could have accomplished naturally.
Artisanal products differ from fast fashion products in that they are made in a traditional or non-mechanized way. Artisanal products are hand-crafted by skilled cobblers in small quantities with high quality and design in mind; using techniques that cannot be replicated by machines!
