Craftsmanship & design details
Italian Leather & Artisan Construction
Every pair of Ralph & Russo sandals begins with leather selected from the finest tanneries in Tuscany and Veneto. We work exclusively with nappa and suede hides that meet our exacting standards for suppleness, grain consistency, and color depth.
Our artisans hand-cut each component and stitch the uppers using techniques refined over generations in Italian footwear ateliers. The signature heel—whether stiletto, block, or sculptural—is shaped from solid wood or composite materials, then wrapped in leather that’s meticulously smoothed and polished. This level of attention ensures that our ralph and russo sandals maintain their elegant lines and structural integrity season after season.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
Our ralph and russo sandals follow European sizing and fit true to standard measurements. We recommend ordering your usual European size; if you typically wear UK or US sizes, please refer to our conversion chart at checkout.
The Eden stiletto features an adjustable ankle strap that accommodates varying ankle circumferences and instep heights. Most clients find the nappa leather softens slightly after the first few wears, so we advise against sizing up for initial tightness.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the beauty of your ralph and russo sandals, we recommend storing them in the provided dust bag when not in use, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Leather Care
Wipe nappa leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and skin oils. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner formulated for fine footwear, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water-based cleaners, which can leave marks on untreated leather.

Yes, our sandals follow European sizing and fit true to standard measurements. We recommend ordering your usual European size.
If you're between sizes, we suggest choosing the larger size and using the included gel heel grips for a customized fit. The adjustable ankle strap on most styles accommodates slight size variations and different instep heights.
We craft our ralph and russo sandals from Italian nappa leather, suede, satin, and patent leather sourced from premium tanneries in Tuscany and Veneto. Each pair features a cushioned leather insole and a leather sole with rubber forefoot pads for traction.

Yes, our sandals are designed for all-evening comfort at formal events. The cushioned leather insole molds to your foot over time, and the 105mm heel height on our stiletto styles provides leg-lengthening elegance without excessive height.
We recommend wearing your sandals at home for 30-60 minutes before your first extended outing to allow the leather to soften. The adjustable straps and balanced construction make them suitable for events where you'll be standing or walking for several hours.
Metallic and patent finishes require specialized care to maintain their luster. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear, and use only cleaners formulated specifically for these materials—never traditional leather conditioners, which can dull metallic coatings or leave residue on patent.
Store metallic and patent ralph and russo sandals in their dust bags away from direct sunlight and heat, which can cause cracking or discoloration. Avoid contact with water, perfume, and cosmetics, and never fold or compress patent leather, as creases may become permanent.
Yes, replacement heel tips and rubber sole pads can be fitted by professional cobblers or at our boutique locations. The leather-wrapped heel design uses standard fittings compatible with luxury footwear repair services.
We recommend inspecting heel tips regularly and replacing them when worn to prevent damage to the heel's leather covering. Many clients have sole protectors applied professionally before first wear to extend the life of the original leather sole.
We accept returns and exchanges within 14 days of delivery, provided sandals are unworn and in original packaging with all tags and documentation intact. The leather sole must show no signs of outdoor wear—we recommend trying sandals on carpeted surfaces only.
Customized or made-to-order sandals are final sale. For exchanges due to sizing, we'll arrange complimentary shipping for the replacement pair. Full return terms are included with your purchase and available on our website.
Our standard width accommodates UK D and European D/E fittings. While we don't currently offer wide-width versions in all styles, certain designs feature adjustable straps that provide extra flexibility across the vamp and instep.
We encourage clients with wider feet to visit one of our boutiques for personalized fittings, where our staff can recommend styles with more generous toe boxes or arrange for custom modifications. The adjustable ankle straps on most ralph and russo sandals help secure the fit even when the forefoot is slightly roomier.
