We offer European sizing, typically EU 36–41 for women and EU 40–46 for men. Size charts are available on each product page. If you’re unsure, reach out — we’re happy to help you find the perfect fit.
How do I care for A.S.98 leather?
Keep your shoes looking their best by wiping them with a soft damp cloth, conditioning them monthly, and storing them in a cool, dry space.
Avoid exposing them to water or intense sun. If they need deeper care, we recommend a professional cobbler familiar with fine leathers.
