NUBUCK & SUEDE GUIDE

We understand that the right fit is essential.
It determines not only the immediate feel of your shoes but also your long-term experience with them. A perfect fit offers confidence, ease, and longevity.
Each pair of 1812 shoes is shaped from a carefully developed last, designed in partnership with master shoemakers to reflect the anatomy of the modern foot.
The final fit is determined by a harmony of components: the last shape, upper materials, pattern cutting, and hand-finishing techniques such as lasting and heat setting. These artisanal steps ensure each pair moulds beautifully to the foot, with an elegant, enduring silhouette.

SIZE CONVERSION

MEASURING
To find your best fit, place your heel against a wall on a piece of paper and mark the tip of your longest toe. Measure the distance in millimetres.
