Size and Fit Guide

We like to put our best foot forward, but are the shoes we wear the best for our feet?

Good shoes (in our books) are defined by their shape, and specifically, the shape of the toe box. A wider toe box allows your feet to move naturally and breathe and accommodates the natural swelling that occurs to our feet throughout the day. 

The health benefits of wider footwear can be felt all over your body. Initially, your toes will thank you, for not cramping or constricting them in footwear that confines your feet and in-turn, your movement.

Your lower back, legs, hips, and posture will also appreciate the space you give your toes. Wider footwear encourages total body movement, ensuring your muscles stay active and work harmoniously to support you. 

Move more freely and choose footwear with wider toe boxes; your body will thank you for it. 

 

Choosing the right size

Before or during ordering your shoes, we recommend you measure the length of your feet to find the right size. Our chart may help you but does not guarantee that the shoes fit. 

To ascertain your measurement, stand on a ruler against a wall. Your measurement should include the entire length of your foot, measured from heel to longest toe.

Please measure both feet, and choose your size based on the largest measurement. 

If your foot length equals the maximum on any of the measurements, please choose the next size up. 

Boots with wool lining might need to be ordered in the next size up to accommodate the wool. 

If you are in-between sizes, we offer Wool Insoles that may help with half-sizes.

As your Duckfeet break in, the leather will soften and stretch in the width if needed; please keep this in mind when sizing.

Duckfeet in Denmark have been making shoes by hand for over forty years. Duckfeet are simple and functional, typical of mid-20th century Danish design. Duckfeet’s foot-formed design allows room for the toes to spread naturally as you walk, and for air to reach the feet. Leather midsoles and uppers breathe and transport moisture away from the foot. We use leather because it’s strong and long-lasting, but also flexible – allowing the shoe to move with and mould to your individual foot shape.

No two pairs of Duckfeet are exactly alike. Every pair of shoes is treated individually during production, the natural tanning and processing by hand allows for subtle variations in the leather. These variations are highlighted by the particular way you wear them, which imbues each shoe with personality, your story, for your life.

Sjaelland features premium full grain, double stitched and reinforced 100% leather uppers, insole, and leather midsole. Our non-toxic, vegetable tanned leather is manufactured according to strict environmental standards. It is drum dyed using high quality, non-toxic dyes and specially treated to be water and dirt repellant. Using traditional European Veldtschoen construction the upper is built up by hand over a flat last then the midsole is double stitched to our 100% natural crepe rubber outsole. Every pair of Duckfeet comes into contact with many experienced hands before they are placed in their box and fitted to your feet.

These boots are great. So nice to have room to move my toes properly, it's making me reassess all my other shoes. They broke in quite quickly and are practical and comfy. Loving my new pair of forest green sustainable shoes. top quality.

Duckfeet Happy Feet

For my birthday I received my 2nd pair of Sjaelland which happens to be my 5th pair of Duckfeet, all of which still get worn regularly. They may seem costly but when I think that I have had my first pair for over 13 years and still wear them it’s money well spent and a good investment. The fact you can get them re-soled as well gives them a new lease of life and makes them last forever.

The boots suit my wide feet, though I suggest considering a size up which I have done. Can be worn comfortably with tights or socks.

At first they feel uncomfortable, and there was a little rubbing, but I have held in there and after a few wears they softened and adapted to me.
