Our goal is to produce shoes that last through the years and age with time. Due to its combination of flexibility and durability over time, we mostly use full grain leather,which is the highest quality and most valued part of the hide. Our shoe soles are both glued and stitched to make sure they last longer overtime.

We source locally and responsibly in Portugal and follow a strict ethical code. We visit our factories often (at least once a month) to overhaul working conditions and we also make sure our shoe artisans are paid fairly for their exquisite work. The raw materials we use follow the same premises as stated above.

It depends on the styles you own, since the care is different for nubuck/suede and natural leather. In the accessories section of our website you can find JAK’s shoe care kits specific for the materials you need.

Our shoes fit true to size, so you should always choose the size you normally wear in other major brands. If you are somehow in between sizes (half size) you should size up.
Every shoe kit also comes with two innersoles. One on the shoe itself and an extra and thinner one on the shoe box. You can try both innersoles and see which ones makes the perfect fit for you.

We currently accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay (processed through stripe.com), PayPal, iDeal and Sofort banking.
All our payments are processed in EUR (euros), which is the default currency on our payment gateway. The prices shown in other currencies (USD/GBP) are converted based on the exchange rate defined by your bank or credit card company.
