Materials and construction
Each pair of black leather flats is constructed with careful attention to durability and wearability. The upper is cut from smooth, supple leather that softens with regular use to mold to the unique shape of the foot for a personalized fit over time. A small black strap across the vamp fastens with a slim buckle for a secure, adjustable fit and a subtle decorative accent.
The outsole is made from hardwearing rubber that provides reliable traction on a range of indoor and outdoor surfaces, with a flat profile that keeps the foot in a natural, neutral position.
Fit and sizing
These black leather flats are available in a full size range from EU 35 to EU 42 to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes and lengths. The leather upper has a slight give that stretches with regular wear, so the fit will feel snug at first before conforming to your foot for all-day comfort.

Care
Proper care extends the lifespan of your black leather flats and keeps them looking polished for years of regular use. Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and surface dirt, and condition the leather every three to six months to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
The rubber sole can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove mud or scuff marks, and the buckle can be polished with a soft cloth to keep its smooth finish. Store the flats in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and warping of the leather and sole materials.
Frequently asked questions
Are these flats suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, these black leather flats are designed with all-day comfort in mind. The flat heel keeps the foot in a natural position to reduce strain on the arches, ankles, and knees during long periods of standing or walking. The soft leather upper molds to the foot over time, and the rubber sole absorbs minor impact from hard surfaces like concrete or tile. The adjustable buckle strap lets you customize the fit across the vamp to prevent slipping or rubbing during extended wear.
Can I wear these flats in wet weather?
While these black leather flats are not fully waterproof, the rubber sole provides a protective barrier against light rain and damp sidewalks. The leather upper can be treated with a leather protectant spray to repel minor moisture and prevent water stains, though we recommend avoiding heavy rain or deep puddles to prevent damage to the material.
If the flats do get wet, stuff them with crumpled paper and let them air dry slowly away from direct heat to maintain their shape. Always test any leather care product on a small, hidden area of the upper before applying it to the entire shoe.
How do I know if these black leather flats are right for me?
These black leather flats are a strong choice if you prioritize comfort, timeless style, and durable construction in everyday footwear. They work well for people who spend long hours on their feet, who prefer a low-profile shoe that pairs with multiple wardrobe styles, or who want a versatile option that transitions between work and leisure.
The adjustable buckle strap and size range from EU 35 to EU 42 accommodate a wide range of foot widths and lengths, and the simple black colour complements most existing wardrobe palettes. If you prefer bolder colours or higher heels, you can explore other styles in our shop to find your ideal match.
Sizing notes
Measure both feet at the end of the day, standing, because most people are slightly longer on one side. Mark the heel and the longest toe on a sheet of paper and compare that length with the insole figure we send. If the number falls between two sizes, take the larger one for closed shoes.
Width matters as much as length. A pair that is long enough but tight across the ball will still rub, so send the width measurement and we will check the pair in stock. Laces and straps take up a little slack; the length cannot.
What to check on arrival
Try the pair indoors on a clean floor before removing tags. Check that the heel sits flat, that the toe box has room, and that the stitching runs straight on both shoes. Small differences between left and right are normal in handmade footwear; a gap, a crooked seam or a loose thread is not.
If you are unsure about sizing, send us your foot length and we will measure the insole of the black leather flats before dispatch. The same applies to width: tell us the measurement across the ball of the foot and we will check the black leather flats in stock.
