If you have ANY concern about your size please also read the following lines!

• IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Keep in mind that the manufacturers use different shoe lasts to construct their shoes, and sizing may vary accordingly. So, the best way to guarantee that you are going to order the correct size for you is to measure your foot and leave the length as a message to the “note to seller”' with the exact size of your feet.

• HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT (without any special equipment):
Please follow this procedure to help us in order to select the correct size for you. Place your foot firmly on top of the piece of paper. Your leg should be bent slightly and your shin should be in front of your ankle. You can stand, sit on a chair or crouch down. Trace the outline of your foot with a pen and remember to measure your foot without shoes, but with socks similar to the ones you'll be wearing with the shoes you are buying (for sandals without socks!). Measure diagonally from the heel to the big toe and leave it as message to the “note to seller” with your order.

• SANDALS – THE PERFECT SUMMER SHOE:
Sandals are among the oldest forms of shoes in the world. The word "sandals" creates an association for airy and light summer footwear that is attached to the leg with straps. Ancient Greek leather sandals are inspired by ancient Greek mythology, while today there are models in different colors and shapes. Some of the leather sandals that our shop offers are: Gladiator sandals, toe ring sandals, lace up sandals, platform sandals, leather flip flops, Spartan/Spartiate sandals, knee high sandals, ankle wrap sandals, and many other types... They are very comfortable, especially in the summer when it’s hot and we need more well-ventilated shoes, and, also, they provide unique style!

• ABOUT OUR STORE:
LeatherStrata products are handmade locally using traditional techniques that have existed for centuries. We design & manufacture all of our leather goods right here in Greece. Our bags and sandals are handcrafted in a small family-run factory with decades of experience in leather craftsmanship. We use only full grain cow leather® which is the highest quality of leather you can get. Our leather is also 100% vegetable tanned, which means it undergoes a specific tanning process that very few bags on the mass-market today use. It's the oldest form of leather tanning and has been around for centuries. It is also the most natural and environmentally friendly. Plus, the leather smells amazing. Less than 10% of the world's leather is tanned this way.
