Olympia - Cumin Suede / Gum Sole
Size Guide - Sneakers
A sneaker will never fit quite like a dress shoe will so we wanted to explain the main differences between them so you can make an informed decision on your size.
A dress shoe should always have excess length in the toe box as they are not cut to be the shape of our feet. On the other hand, the sneaker last is not designed to have this excess length and your toes are meant to arrive to as close to the end as possible without jamming your toes.
With this in mind let’s explain the main differences and our suggestions:
- The instep on the sneakers is lower as it should be (compared to our dress shoes)
- The cut on the length is more true to the foot in our sneakers (think like a Vans). The toes should come close to touching the end.
- We recommend you stick to your typical 'sneaker size' for the laced sneakers. Read below for the loafer sneakers.
- Only stick to your dress shoe size if intend to wear these with thin socks, or the same socks as your dress shoes, bearing in mind the toes will come close to the end.
- For those of you that fall within a half size range of dress shoe, we recommend size up to the next whole size.
- Please bear in mind as well, being fully leather lined and outer leather/suede, the sneakers do give quickly
- The insert is removable should you need to make adjustments for a tighter or looser fit.
THE BELGIAN SNEAKER FIT
- This runs a half size large. If you are typically US9, get the US8.5
- The sneakers come with two removable insoles to adjust for sizing. One is thin and the other more thick.

Shipping Information
The USPS 2-day priority mail service used within the US aims to arrive within 2-3 working days depending on location. This is not a guarantee, however. Your tracking number provided will keep you up to date with your parcel.
We look to ship out all purchases 1-2 working days after the time of purchase (weekends not included). During "Sale" periods we aim to ship between 2 -4 days after the time of purchase as the increase in orders affects our ability to be any quicker. Add-ons involving changes to your shoes (toe taps, rubber sole bottoms) will increase delivery time by up to 3 weeks. Custom patinas will increase delivery time by up to 28 days.
If you prefer one courier over the other, and wish to pay the difference, please indicate this in the notes section of your order. Any failure to do, will result in using the default courier that pffers the best price. If you request a specific courier, we will issue an invoice to you prior to sending your parcel, to cover the difference in pricing (should there by any).
Any and all import duties/fees imposed by your local custom's officials on your parcel will be the responsibility of the customer to pay for. We do not control this and will not be held responsible for any surprises in charges as we do not impose them. Your government does. We declare the parcel at the value paid. We do no under-declare parcel values. Please do not ask us to do so.
If you reject your order for not wanting to pay the customs import taxation, we will be charged a fee as well as a return shipping charge. To cover these charges due to your refusal of your order, $100 will be deducted from your return amount once we are notified of that refusal by DHL. We are not liable for this charge due to your error in ordering.
You will pay a different shipping price for cart value of $100 or less, $101-$200, $201-$400 and above $400.
