How is sizing done?
As part of the checkout process you will be asked to choose a size. We make our SPATS following shoes sizes. But SPATS are spats and shoes are shoes, so for SPATS the most important measures are the ankle and calf circumferences.
For your complete knowledge about SPATS sizes please have a look to our size chart.
Of course we can fit SPATS on your measurements. You just have to let us know, so during order’s process, select the size nearer to your measurement then, on the note field, enter your ankle and calf measurement.
Please have a look to our measurement guide here
If your SPATS don't fit we'll remake/repair them for free per our returns policy.
We guarantee you'll love the SPATS, or your money back.
What if my SPATS don't fit properly?
If the fit is only slightly out we'll pay to have the SPATS' buttons adjusted by a local tailor in your city.
If this doesn't fix the problem we'll have you send the SPATS back to us and we'll remake them for you, free of charge. See our returns policy for full details.
How do I know if the ordered SPATS will fit?
We carefully fine-tuned the measurement process with a big testing group to make it as accurate as possible.
Over 90% of our customers are satisfied with the fit of our SPATS.
As a general rule, you should provide us with your exact current measurements. Please do not choose smaller measurements or bigger measurements because you think to lose weight.
Please allow a slight variance from the original measurement due to the fact the SPATS are handcrafted.
Should the measurements of the received SPATS be considerably different from the measurements you indicated in your order, Emar-design will offer you a new product free of charge.
We cannot guarantee that your SPATS made to the measurements from our standard size chart will have a perfect fit.
