FAQs

When was GIFENNSE founded?

Our leather footwear factory was established in 1993. In 2018, after 25 years in the leather footwear business, we founded GIFENNSE. Our next chapter will focus on making to order and selling directly through our website, with the aim of reflecting savings from reduced inventory and distribution costs in our prices.

What materials are used?

Upper, lining and outsole materials vary by style. Selected styles feature full-grain calfskin uppers. Linings may include cowhide, pigskin or sheep or goat leather, alongside other materials. Outsoles are leather or rubber according to the design. Please see the material details for the style you are considering, or contact us for help before ordering.

What is Hand-Applied Color?

On our hand-colored styles, color is applied by hand to create changes in shade and tone across the leather. This gives depth to the finish. Hand-applied color describes the coloring work; other details and materials vary by style.

Can you help me choose a size?

Please use the size guide for the style you are considering. If you need help, contact us with your foot length, foot width, and the brands and sizes you usually wear. Insole length is not the same as foot length. Our customer support team will respond within 24 hours.

How should my shoes fit?

Choose your size using the guide for the specific style. A new pair should feel secure without persistent pinching. If you are unsure about the fit, contact us with the style name and your measurements before choosing a size.

How should I care for the finish?

Care depends on the material and finish of your shoes. Remove surface dust gently with a clean, soft cloth and keep shoes away from direct heat when drying. Before using any cleaner, conditioner or polish, check that it suits the material and test it on a small, inconspicuous area. Contact us if you are unsure about care for your style.
