Frequently asked questions

Lace sizes, shoe care, shipping and returns — and how repairs work at the shop.

Laces & sizing

Count the eyelet pairs on one shoe. 4–5 pairs usually takes 36"; 6–7 pairs takes 45" on low shoes or 54"–63" on boots; 8–9 pairs on a tall boot takes 63"–72". Between two sizes, choose the longer lace. Each lace page has the full chart.

Yes — one quantity is two laces, enough for one pair of shoes.

Order the size that matches your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller tree — it should hold the shape without stretching the shoe.

Care

Brush after wearing, put cedar shoe trees in while the shoes are still warm, use a shoe horn and rotate pairs so each gets a day to dry. Replace heels before you wear into the sole.

Leather and suede can be stretched gradually with a two-way stretcher: turn until you feel light resistance, add half a turn and leave it for 24–48 hours. Patent and synthetic uppers don't stretch well — bring those to the shop.
