Hand-oiled with a blend of plant-based oils, beeswax, and propolis, so natural variation in color tone is to be expected.

Woven Shoes run big and fit best when they start out tight. Take a full size down and use our break-in tips. For example, if you’re normally a 10, order a 9.
If you are normally a half size, take 1.5 sizes down. For example, if you’re normally a 10.5, order a 9.
After a few days of wear, toe box and footbed will mold to your foot for the perfect fit.

How does oiled leather work?
Every pair is oiled by hand using a Obenauf’s Leather Oil—a blend of plant-based oils, beeswax, and propolis. Several well-applied coats turn our water buffalo leather a deep chocolate shade. This kind of leather has been used to make shoes in Athani for generations; it’s tanned nearby in a small batch traditional process that makes for beautiful, high quality leather; the oil adds a rich color that lasts well over time.
