MachadoShoes

Hello and thank you for your interest in my work!

“I like to think Machado are for those who like to have their feet on the ground and their heart in the clouds.”

I work with extreme care, patience and attention but leather is an uneven material by its nature. Its surface may have particularities that should be seen as signs of authenticity. I generally treat leather for enhanced elasticity, resistance and surface appearance. These products (wax, oil, silicone) may have a specific smell in the beginning that generally vanishes with time.

Because feet measures are the Achilles' heel of selling shoes online, you must find what your number is on my scale. This is very simple to do:
Standing up,to get the usual weight on the foot just place your foot on a sheet of paper and draw a line around it, measure from the point of the toe to the back of the heel and then add 5/8mm to your foot length to allow your foot room to move.
This will give you the footbed length you need to find your size on my scale.
Example: Brian foot measures 25,4cm long. Brian adds 5/8mm to the foot's length to find he will fit comfortably into my Size 39 (26cm Footbed Length.

For higher accuracy and better fit, you can measure both feets.
