Size Guide
Section 1 — How to measure your foot
To find the right size, all you need is a sheet of paper, a pen, and a ruler. Always measure your foot at the end of the day, when it is slightly more expanded: that's when a shoe needs to fit well.
- Place the paper on a flat surface, against a wall.
- Place your bare foot on the paper with your heel against the wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe, holding the pen perfectly vertical.
- Measure the distance between the edge of the paper and the mark.
- Repeat with the other foot and use the larger measurement.
Section 2 — Your size
| Size | Foot length (cm) |
| 35 | 22.7 |
| 36 | 23.4 |
| 37 | 24.1 |
| 38 | 24.8 |
| 39 | 25.5 |
| 40 | 26.2 |
| 41 | 26.9 |
| 42 | 27.6 |
If your measurement falls between two sizes, the half size is 3mm longer than the full size. For example, a 38.5 corresponds to 25.1 cm. If in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one. For those with particularly wide feet, it is preferable to opt for one size larger than the length.
Section 3 — How your model fits
Each A.Bocca model is built on a different last. Knowing the last of the shoe you have chosen is the most precise way to find the right size, especially if you are buying a model for the first time.
Two for Love
The Two for Love, in all its variations — pump, slingback, slide — fits true to size. If you already know your size in this model, you can use it as a reference for the rest of the catalog.
The Two for Love Ballerina is an exception, fitting slightly small: if you are undecided between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Heart Slingback, Heart Mule, Lady
These models share a pointed toe with a heart-shaped vamp and fit true to size. If you wear a 38 in the Two for Love, you will also wear a 38 in the Heart Slingback.
Muse Pump, Muse Slingback
The Muse has a more generous cut on the instep. The fit is roomy: if you normally wear a 38, we recommend choosing a 37.5. If the half size is not available, a 37 is the correct choice.
Off-Line Pump, Origami Pump
These models also have a roomy fit. Choose a half size smaller than your usual size.
Back to Love
Square toe, regular fit. Compatible with the Two for Love reference.
New Heart Slingback
Despite the square toe, this model has a slightly roomy fit. If you are undecided, choose the smaller size.
Fine Love Sabot
Small fit. Choose a half size larger than your usual measurement.
Sandals — Clementine, Eden and open models
Sandals fit true to size. For models with adjustable ankle straps, foot length is the primary parameter: the strap will adapt.
Section 4 — A few things worth knowing
Patent leather in the first few weeks
Patent leather shoes have a specific character: in the first few days of use, the upper is stiff, and this is part of the material's nature, not a defect. With use, the patent leather softens and adapts to the shape of the foot. To speed up the breaking-in process, wear them for short periods initially or with socks, to start shaping the shoe without tiring your foot. After two or three uses, the difference is noticeable.
Wide feet
If you have particularly wide feet, we recommend choosing one size larger than your foot length.
