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.
An essential wardrobe staple dressed up with a touch of Black Tulip flair, the Cassava showcases our Corylus twist detail, inspired by entwined slow-growing hazel branches. It’s designed to flatter the ankle with an extended tongue and a sculpted collar and is branded with our oversized vintage denim-inspired patches, tanned with natural vegetable dyes. Crafted with ethically sourced materials, each piece is slow-made for durability and everyday elegance. From design to finish, every detail is chosen to make this your go-to for seasons to come.
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 (2–4 business days) over £125. Orders under £125: £5.95. Express Shipping (1-2 business days): £6.49. 30-day returns - keep store credit and we'll waive the return fee. Refunds incur a £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 £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.

beautiful shoes, so well made and very fashionable
These are really beautiful trainers. So well made and with great attention to detail. True to size and the most beautiful colour. I'd definitely buy again from Black Tulip. 🖤
Came across this site on social media, and am so glad I did. The colour, style and comfort of these trainers are amazing.
Will definitely be purchasing again from them.
I love a company who take such care with their products. Great packaging (beautiful box) and really good quality shoes that for once felt like good value for money.
I've found my new favorite trainers! They add the perfect pop of color to brighten up my outfits. They were very comfortable from the very first day, and the leather is soft and lovely. I'm a half size and prefer a wider fit. Following reviews, I decided to go down a size, and they fit perfectly!
These looked great but I could see the size 4/37 was too small and although we are advised to size down, I saw one review which said to size up. Have had to ask for a refund as size 5/38 are out of stock.
I love these - so stylish and easy to wear. Also, thanks to BlackTulip for excellent customer service, swapping my original order for these ones when I had a ch age of heart. 😊
After a small hiccup to begin with which was resolved with a very good customer service team I have received these trainers I haven't worn them yet but they are an amazing colour and felt comfy when tried on. A massive thanks to black tulip for sorting this.
Don't you love it when you get stopped by a random stranger only to ask you where did you get your trainers from as I haven't seen them before?! Absolutely beautiful and comfortable. So so happy I purchased them not only do they fit perfectly but are unique!
I love these trainers. They look great and are very comfortable.
Just returned from Milan where a very stylish Italian lady asked me where they were from!!
Black Tulip's Cassava Classic Tennis Trainer is built for everyday wear, with a structured, grounded feel underfoot that suits the school run, city walking and long days alike. It is set on a 5mm memory foam footbed for all-day comfort and cut in premium LWG-certified leather. Designed in London, it is the line you reach for when you want one classic trainer to do most of the work.
Why choose Cassava over a softer trainer?
Black Tulip's Cassava Classic Tennis Trainer gives you a firmer base and more structured support than a softer, flexible trainer, which suits anyone who prefers a stable, grounded feel underfoot. The 5mm memory foam footbed still adds all-day cushioning, so structure does not come at the cost of comfort. It is cut in premium LWG-certified leather and designed in London.
Which Black Tulip trainer offers the most stability?
Black Tulip's Cassava Classic Tennis Trainer offers a more grounded, structured sole than the brand's softer styles, making it the most stable feel underfoot in the trainer range. Its classic tennis silhouette is built on a 5mm memory foam footbed and finished in LWG-certified leather. For a lighter, more flexible alternative, Willow is the softer counterpart; for the most structured base, choose Cassava.
When is structured cushioning better than flexible cushioning?
Black Tulip's Cassava Classic Tennis Trainer uses structured cushioning, which tends to feel better on longer days or when you want extra stability and a grounded base, rather than the give of a softer, flexible sole. It pairs that structure with a 5mm memory foam footbed for all-day comfort and is cut in premium LWG-certified leather. Designed in London, Cassava is the structured choice in the trainer line.
Should I choose Cassava for commuting?
Black Tulip's Cassava Classic Tennis Trainer is well suited to commuting if you prefer a stable, supportive sole for daily movement and time on your feet. Its 5mm memory foam footbed cushions each step while the structured base keeps the foot grounded across the day. Cut in LWG-certified leather and designed in London, it is a timeless classic tennis trainer made to be worn everywhere. It is true to size with no wide fit, so size up if you are between sizes.
