Frequently Asked Questions

"An Egyptian" foot type. What does it mean? An Egyptian woman has all the toes from the biggest one to the smallest one in one line, having the next toe smaller than the previous one.

We will be happy to advise you. Just send us a message at [email protected]. Don't forget to include measurements or send a photo of your foot measurement.

We’ve created a guide on how to measure your foot correctly.

In this case of being in between, we recommend choosing the larger size. You can easily correct too much extra space with insoles.

With ballerina shoes the maximum of 0.7 cm is recommended, however it is largely subjective. A woman who has just started wearing barefoot shoes need a smaller toe allowance. Experienced barefoot shoes wearers find 1 cm toe allowance comfortable, some find comfortable even larger space.

It depends on the upper material. If your Shapens are smooth leather, just wipe them with a damp cloth and apply a suitable product when dry. We recommend polishing with balms or beeswax. This prevents cracking, maintains the integrity of the material surface, thereby preserving the original property and quality of the leather. 

If you have Shapens made of nubuck or velour (suede), never clean them wet, like smooth leather, but dry with special abrasive sponges or brushes. The upkeep of nubuck and suede shoes is a bit more difficult, so they need to be treated with special products that renovate the shoes and restore their color. For more information, read our article How to care for barefoot shoes properly?

Excellent quality, but problematic calf circumference
​I am very pleased with the design, comfort, and overall craftsmanship of these boots – the material is sturdy and clearly of high quality. However, I would like to point out a technical drawback regarding the calf circumference, which affects the overall experience.

​In my opinion, this circumference is simply too narrow for standard proportions, making the boots almost impossible to wear over jeans or thicker winter tights. Although the model features an elastic insert, it is extremely firm and creates significant pressure, leading to concerns about potentially damaging the zipper while fastening. I had a few friends of different builds try them on, and most of them encountered the same issue.

​It is a pity that the cut doesn’t allow for a bit more room, as just an additional 2 cm in width would make these the perfect boots—staying securely in place while providing maximum comfort. I believe such a small adjustment in dimensions would make this model ideal and more accessible to a wider range of customers.

These boots are stylish and look great, but unfortunately they didn’t fit me as expected.

I’m 155 cm tall, and the boots end up going slightly over my knee, which makes them uncomfortable to wear. They also feel unusually wide around the calf. I normally have the opposite issue (my calves are on the larger side), so I believe the looseness happens because the boots sit too high on the narrower part of my calf.

Another concern is the fit around the foot. I ordered a size 38, and with my 23.5 cm foot length, I expected about 1 cm of extra space — which should be ideal — but the boots feel much roomier than that.

I’m still unsure whether to return them or try a size 37, especially because with size 37 there would supposedly be no extra space in the foot, and I’m not certain that sizing down by 1 cm in height and width would be enough to solve the calf fit issue.

Overall, they’re beautiful boots, but the fit wasn’t right for me.

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad to hear you find the boots stylish and beautiful, but we’re very sorry that the fit wasn’t right for you. Everyone’s feet and calves are shaped differently, and we understand that it can be challenging to find the perfect fit, especially with taller boots. The boots sometimes sit differently depending on leg shape, which can affect both calf and foot fit. If you’re unsure about the sizing, our customer service team would be happy to help you find the best option, whether that’s trying a smaller size or exploring another model that might suit your leg shape better. We really appreciate you sharing your experience with us and hope you’ll find a pair that fits you perfectly! SHAPEN Team

I give it three stars because the shoe is really beautiful and finally has a high shaft with a zipper. Unfortunately, however, the shaft is very narrow (even the rubber insert doesn't help) and very wide at the ankle. I was very excited about these chic barefoot boots, but I had to send them back.

Your comments about the shaft being too tight in some areas and too wide at the ankle are very helpful, and we’ll take them into consideration to improve our future designs. We hope you’ll find another pair that fits you perfectly! SHAPEN Team

Overall I’m very pleased with this boot! The only thing I don’t love is that the boot comes up past my calf and behind my knee (I’m 5’3) and therefore there’s quite a bit of scrunching that happens at the ankle. I wish the boot was about an inch shorter to create an absolutely perfect fit :)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re happy to hear you’re overall pleased with the boots. We appreciate your feedback about the height and scrunching—it’s very helpful as we continue to improve our designs. Wishing you many comfortable and stylish steps ahead! SHAPEN Team

Unfortunately, they are much too tight around the ankle and calf. On the other hand, they are much too loose around the foot. Even though there should be room for my toes, I have too much space. I can't wear jeans underneath them, otherwise I get nasty pressure marks on my legs. My calves are of normal build. What a shame.

Boots are really comfortable. The colour is not exactly as on the picture (a bit darker). I ordered leather boots, but part of a shim of these boots feels like it is not genuine leather. Otherwise, looking good and I have received compliments on them.

Regarding the material, please rest assured that the boots are made entirely of genuine leather, including the upper part. We appreciate you sharing your experience and we’re delighted that you find the boots comfortable and have received compliments on them. SHAPEN Team

Very nice boots, but the upper part is rather high (I wear 42, and normal hight, so I guess this is ok for a taller person). But this is not a reason for 4 stars. The reason is the the material looks rigid and stiff (feeling is ok, just look).

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you like the HARPER boots overall. We appreciate your note about the upper height and the material looking a bit rigid — while the feel is comfortable. Please note that we provide size charts for each model, and the HARPER size chart also includes the boot height to help you choose the best fit. SHAPEN Team

The boots look awesome and I fall in love with it. My sadness is it was to tight for my shins so I needed to return it. If you train and have more muscular legs then usual then save yourself the money and dont order it.

I have the same comment as with the model STRETCHY - they are way too wide for my calves so I had to return them. But I like the style a lot.

The boots are beautiful, but before purchasing, check the length of the shaft if you have wider calves.
