How to Measure
1
Place the Paper
Put a sheet of paper on a flat floor with one edge against a wall. Tape it down so it doesn't move.
2
Stand and Mark
Stand with your heel against the wall. Keep your pen straight and mark the tip of your longest toe.
3
Measure
Measure from the wall to the mark.
4
Check Both Feet
Repeat on the other foot. Use the longer measurement.
5
Choose Your Size
Match your measurement to the size chart above.
Helpful Tip
Measure in the evening, when your feet are slightly larger. If buying trainers or boots, measure while wearing socks.

About the fit
Most Black Tulip styles run true to size. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Our shoes are designed to be worn all day.
Our Willow All-Day Trainers is a fresh, reimagined take on effortless style. The sleek new side detailing offers a contemporary update to the signature Corylus Twist, while the thin, flexible sole with memory foam ensures all-day comfort. Designed to move seamlessly with you from day to night, Willow is the perfect addition to the modern wardrobe.
All our leathers and suedes are LWG-certified and responsibly sourced.
Every component is selected for comfort, durability, and reduced environmental impact.
Shipping: Free standard shipping (2β4 business days) over Β£125. Orders under Β£125: Β£5.95. Express Shipping (1-2 business days): Β£6.49. 30-day returns - keep store credit and we'll waive the return fee. Refunds incur a Β£7 per item return fee.
Returns: We offer 30-day returns from the date your order ships. Refunds can be made to the original payment method with a Β£7.00 shipping fee per item. Opt for store credit, and we'll waive the return fee.
Care: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear and allow to air dry away from direct heat. For deeper marks, use a leather-specific cleaner - avoid household detergents. Apply a leather conditioner every four to six weeks to keep the surface supple. Store in the dust bag provided, stuffed lightly with tissue to hold their shape.
Warranty: Every pair of Black Tulip shoes is backed by a six-month warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects. Wear and tear, usage-related damage, and improper care are not covered. To make a claim, email customercare@blacktulipstudio.com with your order number and a photo of the defect. We'll respond within two working days.
Care FAQs: Can I wear them in the rain?
Light rain is fine. Wipe them dry when you get indoors and let them air naturally. Avoid prolonged soaking or puddle-walking.
How do I remove scuff marks? Removing scuff marks depends on your shoe's material. For smooth leather or rubber soles, gently scrub with a damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush.
Will the leather stretch? Slightly. The leather moulds to your foot shape over the first few wears - this is normal and improves the fit. The memory foam/ PU insole also settles to your footbed within the first week.
How should I store them between seasons? Clean them first, apply conditioner, stuff lightly with acid-free tissue, and store in the provided dust bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid stacking shoes on top of each other.

Gorgeous trainers! Fabulous service too. Iβll definitely be back for more colours π x
This company is great they have poducts you can buy and receive with few days but what makes them above and beyond as a company they take pre orders which i found amazing they only make enough of each design and colour due to demand saving on not just waste but also kinder to our environment
Compants out there shpuld take notice on how to build a brand
Excellent
I loved the forest green willow trainers, alas, had to return as they were too slim fitting for my feet. Such a pity as they are beautifully made and the packaging is luxurious. Great company sales - I hope I can find a wider trainer at Black Tulip.
Gorgeous trainers - I'm over 55 and not a fan of the look of sporty trainers but now really needed a comfortable flat. Was attracted to these initially because of the leather detailing and the neutral colour pallette, but now I've worn them the flexible sole and ballet-pump level comfort makes me love them even more! Great with jeans and black leather trousers and really lightweight and neat so they will become my everyday and citybreak essential this Autumn/Winter.
Wonderful trainers - really beautiful design and so comfortable! I love them and they are perfect for both casual and smart casual occasions. I am so glad I found this company!
These are beautiful, high quality and extremely comfortable trainers. They go with everything and always look good. I love them and am already thinking about buying my next pair.
First time buying this brand and have yet to wear my trainers, but love how they look and feel on my feet. Iβm somewhere between a size European size 37 and UK 38 and found the 38s were the perfect fit. Customer service was excellent: my little issue was swiftly sorted and handled with great personal care. (Thanks, Kerry!)
Lovely colour and design. The trainers look stylish overall, but the downside is that theyβre a little baggy around the sides, which makes the feet look wider than they actually are.
The trainers are gorgeous looking, materials seem high quality, I have not worn them yet to check the comfort of a day walking. However I tried them on and they only get 4 stars because they are bigger/longer than a true size 3/36 EU. I will need to buy a leather insole to fit them properly I gather.
I was slightly disappointed that there was more textile than I expected. I had been searching for an all leather or suede shoe & thought Iβd found them. They looked good though so I did try them on. They looked long & they were too long in the toe. There was too much space & Iβm sure they would crease badly because of it. I have returned them. Iβm not trying the smaller size. Because of the high βhandling feeβ I did consider asking friends if they wanted them.
I loved the style, colour and quality of the trainer. Unfortunately the fit was very strange for me - too narrow at the front of my foot and gaping at the top π so I had to return them. Will definitely by another pair but will try a different style next time
Why choose leather trainers over fabric or synthetic?
Leather is more durable, easier to clean, and holds its structure across long days far better than fabric or mesh. It also reads as a deliberate style choice rather than a purely functional one - which matters when a trainer needs to work in a polished setting, not just at the gym. Black Tulip uses LWG-certified leather across the Arbi, Cassava and Willow for exactly this reason.
How long do leather trainers last compared with regular trainers?
A well-made, well-kept leather trainer comfortably outlasts most fabric pairs by years. The material resists everyday scuffs, can be reconditioned as it wears, and improves in appearance with age - Black Tulip customers describe the leather softening and bettering over time rather than wearing out. On a cost-per-wear basis, leather is the more economical choice.
How do I care for leather trainers to make them last?
Wipe them down after wear, condition the leather every few weeks, and let them dry naturally - never on a radiator. A leather protector spray adds water resistance for UK weather. With this simple routine, a single pair of leather trainers stays looking its best for years.
Do leather trainers hold up in UK weather?
Leather is naturally more water-resistant than canvas or mesh, and a protector spray adds further resilience for wet commutes. For autumn and winter, darker leathers - tan, chocolate, black - are the most practical, hiding marks and pairing easily with seasonal layers.
How can I tell if a leather trainer is genuinely good quality?
Look for full-grain or soft nappa leather (not bonded or coated finishes), clean stitching, a structured heel that holds its shape, and a cushioned footbed. Black Tulip's Arbi and Willow use LWG-certified leather over a 5mm memory foam footbed - construction you can feel from the first wear and the hundredth.
