If you are unable to try on the shoes in person, you can use the following guidelines to determine your size. Please also check the product description for any specific fitting recommendations before making your purchase.

Please note that these measurements are a guide only, if you are looking for an exact measurement it's best to reach out to us at enquiries@tonybianco.com

• If you are between sizes or need assistance to select your best fit, please contact us at Customer Service.
• We recommend trying your new shoes on a soft surface (like carpet) to ensure they are the correct size, before wearing outdoors.
• If a style runs small or runs large, this information will be noted in the description section of each product. If there are no size notes, it means the product runs true to size.

Our shoes and accessories are made from a varied range of quality leather types. Please find the below listing to help differentiate the differences between each leather used.

Capretto Leather: Capretto leather is crafted from cowhide, undergoing a meticulous sanding process to achieve a flawlessly smooth, grain-free surface with a subtle semi-shine. It is known for its sleek and sophisticated appearance, often used in high-quality footwear.

Crinkle Leather: Crinkle leather is crafted from cowhide, and the "crinkle" is enhanced with a high shine finish. It is a type of leather that has undergone a process to create a distinct, textured, or "crinkled" surface. This aims to achieve a fashionable, worn in, or aged look that adds character and visual interest to the material.

Hi Shine Leather: Hi Shine leather, made from calfskin, undergoes a hot ironing process after tanning to achieve its signature high-gloss finish. This full-grain leather offers exceptional smoothness, adding a polished touch to both classic and modern designs.

Kid Suede: Kid suede is a goat leather that goes through a special tanning process, resulting in a fine, velvety napped finish. This leather is known for its softness and flexibility, providing enhanced comfort and a luxurious appearance.

Nappa Leather: Nappa leather is made from sheep hide and is renowned for its exceptionally soft, smooth texture. It offers a lightweight, luxurious feel, ideal for both casual and formal shoe styles. Regular conditioning helps maintain its softness and sheen.

Patent Leather: Patent leather is made from cowhide with a grain-free surface that is coated with a high-gloss lacquer, resulting in its signature shiny, reflective finish. This leather is durable, water-resistant, and adds a striking element to fashion footwear.

Phoenix Leather: Phoenix leather is a nubuck leather made from cowhide. It is characterized by a gently brushed and buffed surface that creates a velvety texture. This leather requires regular care with a nubuck brush and cleaners to maintain its appearance and protect it from moisture.

Pony Hair: Pony hair is derived from the hair side of cowhide and features a unique texture with its natural fur pattern. The hair is shaved and dyed to create distinct animal patterns, adding a bold, exotic touch to footwear. Regular brushing is recommended to keep the hair looking fresh and vibrant.

Printed Reptile Skin (Snake Leather): Printed reptile skin, such as snake, croc, and alligator prints, is cowhide that is embossed and painted to create a realistic texture and color resembling reptile skin. This leather combines durability with an exotic flair for both casual and formal styles.

Venice Leather: Venice leather is crafted from cowhide and undergoes a tumbling process in a large drum to achieve a softer, more pliable texture with a subtle "pebble" appearance. This enhances its tactile appeal and durability, making it suitable for various footwear styles.

Venezia: Venezia is a stretch polyurethane (PU) material designed to mimic the appearance of real leather. It offers a stylish and sophisticated look while providing the flexibility and comfort of a stretch material.

Vintage Leather: Vintage leather is cowhide that is tumbled to achieve an aged, worn-in appearance. After the shoe is crafted, it is burnished on a buffing wheel with chocolate wax cream, deepening the color and accentuating the leather's vintage charm.

Vintage Metal Leather: Vintage Metal leather is cowhide treated with a vintage-style metallic foil, giving it a distinctive, aged look with a unique sheen and texture. This leather adds a retro flair to footwear.
