OTZ shoes - red linen fabric, Rosewood

Please note that OTZ shoes should fit snugly! For example, the length of For Maria's foot is 26.5 cm, and the best size for her is 42, which has an inner length of 27 cm. Maria's toes are at the tip, but that doesn't matter and doesn't feel bad because the linen fabric is soft and gives a little with use. Size 43 felt too big for Maria and did not stay well on her foot.

The shoes have a so-called G half-width last, meaning the width is somewhere between a medium-wide G last and a wide H last.

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
• Length of the longer foot 26.5 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

The shoes have a foot-shaped toe box, so there is plenty of comfortable room for the toes. Maria the merchant’s big toes can also stay nicely straight! 😊 Please note that the shoes should fit snugly! For example, Maria’s foot length is 26.5 cm and her best size is 42, which has an inner length of 27 cm. Maria’s toes are at the tip, but that doesn’t bother her and doesn’t feel uncomfortable because the fabric is soft and gives a little with wear. Size 43 felt too big for Maria and didn’t stay well on her foot.

Care instructions:We recommend a moisture protection spray for these shoes, which should be sprayed on before first use. Good options are either Collonil Carbon Pro or Collonil Organic COVER.

First remove the leather insoles, then the OTZ shoes can be machine washed at 30 degrees. The linen fabric stretches slightly with use; after washing, the fabric shrinks back to its original size as tested by the Maria merchant, not smaller. Shape and stretch the shoes to their form immediately after washing and let them dry.
