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.

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.

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.
