Questions, answered
How should leather shoes fit?
Snug but not tight; leather gives a little as you wear it and settles to your foot. If you're between sizes, size up for room to walk.
How do you care for leather boots and shoes?
Keep them dry, wipe them down, and condition leather or brush suede now and then; let them rest between wears. Looked after, they soften and last for years.
What are the most comfortable heels for all-day wear?
A low, wide block heel: it spreads your weight and keeps you level, so you can actually walk. Aelse's block heel boots are cut for exactly that.
Do leather shoes stretch over time?
A little, as the leather settles to your foot, so a snug first fit is right. They become yours within a few wears.
Where can I buy handmade leather shoes for women?
Look for real leather and a stable, stacked heel. Aelse's boots, flats and heels are handcrafted in leather and suede, made to wear for years.
What shoes go with everything?
A block heel boot or a clean leather flat in a quiet colour: enough to finish an outfit, simple enough to repeat. The pair you stop thinking about.
