Measure, Fit & Product Care
How do I measure my shoe size? View Answer

To easily measure your feet at home, place your heel against a wall and lay a flat object across the length of your longest toe. Measure the length in mm and choose the longest foot for your final size. To measure the width of your foot, stand on a firm surface and wrap a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your foot – near the big and little toe joints. Record the length in mm and choose the widest foot for the final result. Please note, this is a guide only and we cannot guarantee the correct fit.

How do I care for my footwear? View Answer

To maintain the unique Padders feelgoodfeet feeling, we advise following the care guidelines below.

To care for shoes with a smooth shiny leather, we suggest to wipe clean with a damp cloth, allow to dry naturally and then apply a good quality polish or cream.

For waxed/oily leathers, we suggest wiping off the excess dirt and brush to remove any remaining surface marks.

For any nubuck, we suggest allowing the shoes to dry naturally before brushing off loose dirt with a soft brush.

We also suggest a waterproof spray, which will guard against staining and water penetration, however they still allow the leather to breathe.

Waterproof footwear can be maintained by using a waterproof leather conditioner, cream or waterproof dubbing.

Padders shoes should not be stored in warm, humid conditions. Do not store unused for extended periods.

Close
How do I clean my slippers? View Answer

We recommend hand washing Padders slippers in warm soapy water and leaving them to air dry. Avoid soaking the soles for long periods of time.
