While sandals and slides generally have more flexibility than other, more enclosed shoes, they still should fit properly to ensure the best experience. If your sandals leave marks on your feet or constrict your ankles, they are too small, and you should size up. They also should offer support without causing you pain or discomfort after wearing them.
Ultimately, your sandals should be snug and comfortable without much room for movement or sliding around.
If you’re ordering a U.S. women’s size 11, the sizing generally has a length of around 27 centimeters or 10.5 inches. While most companies try to adhere to this national standard, some variations will happen from brand to brand and based on the type of shoe you’re ordering. We recommend reviewing the individual brand’s sizing chart and trying on the shoe if possible.
Yes! Italeau is proud to offer extended women’s size Italian sandals and slides, including a women’s size 12 sandals and slides.
Extended Sizes Sandals & Slides
A women’s size 13 shoe is considered an extended size, outside the standard shoe offerings for most retailers. However, Italeau offers size 13 Italian sandals and slides.
For a women’s size 13 shoe, you can expect the foot length to be about 29.1 centimeters or around 11.5 inches. While there is a standard size, each shoe brand can vary slightly. You should check the individual sizing guide on the retailer’s website to ensure you’re ordering the right size shoe for your foot.
While your leather shoe or mule will shift and warp to your own foot, it should still be comfortable and the correct size. As you review our individual size chart, consider that some of our styles are a big snug. If you have a medium-width foot or insole, consider sizing up at least half a size to ensure it’s comfortable for you. Thanks to our extended-size sandals and slides, you’ll have a wide range to choose from when ordering from Italeau.
Sandals have been a popular wardrobe staple for centuries, with styles coming and going, yet always remaining relevant. Today, there are countless ways to style and wear sandals and slides. Here are some of our favorite ways to style our handcrafted Italeau sandals and slides this season:
With skirts or dresses - Whether you’re headed to a garden party or on your way to the grocery store, adding a pair of sandals and slides with your skirt or dress can create a seasonal style that is elevated yet comfortable.
Denim - Pair your sandals and slides with darker denim for a casual look. Wide-leg jeans, which have been making a comeback, look great with sandals and slides to create some contrasting silhouettes.
Jumpsuit - Consider adding a pair of sandals or slides to a jumpsuit style as you transition seasons. You can keep things casual with sandals or dress it up with a nice pair of heeled slides.
Dress pants - Our high-end leather women’s slides will take your workwear to the next level.
No matter your style, adding a pair of sandals or slides in women’s extended sizes to your outfit will ensure you’re stylish and comfortable — no matter the occasion.
In the midst of the summer heat, putting on a pair of leather sandals or slides offers unparalleled comfort and style, making them a must-have for all women. As you consider purchasing a pair of handcrafted extended women’s sandals and slides, there are a few things to remember:
Our shoes are expertly made for long-lasting wear, making them a worthwhile investment in your wardrobe.
Sandals and slides are extremely versatile, matching with any style or occasion.
They will mold to fit your individual foot, making them comfortable and unique to you.
With our waterproof material and cushioned insole, you’ll be able to enjoy our women’s sandals and slides everyday.
While very durable, leather is also an extremely malleable type of material that will mold to the individual’s foot. This is a great benefit in that it will flex and feel like a personally fitted shoe when it’s broken in. While the sandals and slides might feel slightly stiff when they’re first purchased, the Italian leather will mold and adjust as you wear them over time.
Since sandals and slides are usually worn in warmer weather, your shoes will start to break in quickly, sometimes in as fast as a few days. One way to break them in without pain is to start wearing them around the house for a few hours before going on a long walk or stretching them before wearing them to relax the material.
By slowly ramping up your time wearing them, the leather will have time to adapt to your foot without causing blisters.
Italeau shoes are handcrafted with the highest-quality Italian leather and suede, giving them a softness and long-lasting exterior. We believe that leather is a great fabric for women’s sandals and slides thanks to the fact that they’re:
Breathable - While leather is durable and thick, it is also extremely breathable, allowing your feet to get circulation and minimize odor.
Long-lasting - With proper care and attention, leather can last decades - if not centuries. In fact, some of the oldest shoes are made of leather dating back to 5500 B.C.!
Comfortable - Each pair of leather shoes becomes molded to your individual foot, providing a unique feel and added comfortability. This is because of leather’s flexible material that allows it to be broken in over time but doesn’t get distressed or damaged.
Crafted with the finest Italian leather and suede, our extended size sandals and slides are made from some of the strongest types of material available.
While making shoes with leather and suede has dated back centuries, today, they offer incredible protection and durability for years. One of the benefits of a leather shoe is that even once the sole has been worn down, the exterior of the shoe can remain intact, allowing for a simple replacement of the sole for extended wear.
Taking proper care of your leather or suede sandals and slides requires a bit of diligence to ensure you can enjoy your shoes for years. Try following these care steps when it comes time to wash your Italian leather or suede sandals and slides:
Brush away loose dirt - Using a dry rag or soft brush, wipe away any loose dirt or debris on the shoe, including on the sole of the shoe.
Mix and apply soap - You can mix warm water and some dish soap together in a bowl, allowing the soap to bubble and combine with the water fully. From there, dip a brush or rag into the water and wipe the exterior surface of the shoe to remove the grime and dirt.
Rinse off - Remove any excess soap left on the shoe with another damp rag. We recommend a microfiber absorbent towel.
Apply a leather conditioner - Adding a leather conditioner to your shoe routine will continue to protect the leather and add shine. These are widely available for purchase. Apply to the shoe and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes, then buff off with another soft cloth.
Dry - Once complete, leave your shoe to dry in the open air. We avoid placing them outside or by a heater which could crack or damage the leather.
While leather is extremely durable, there are a few situations you should avoid wearing your sandals and slides, like during rain or snow. One way to protect the leather in inclement weather is by allowing them to dry fully after getting wet and regularly polishing them.
