Fit, Materials & Ordering
Every FAWOYE pair is made to order in Nigeria. Depending on the design, a pair may be made in leather, suede, velvet, woven or other suitable materials, and the colours available vary from design to design. Some styles are made for men, some for women and some are unisex.
Sizing uses EU measurements. Check the Size Guide before you order, and if you sit between sizes, send your foot length in centimetres on WhatsApp so the team can confirm the right fit before production begins.
