Handsole is built around designs and lasts rather than a fixed ready-to-wear size matrix. Start with the shoe shape you want, then choose the color, US size and offered width on the product page.
Standard Handsole designs are made to order in the configuration offered on the product page. Limited batches are identified separately when a material, finish or short production run is genuinely limited.
The collection pages help narrow style, fit and occasion; the Last & Fit guidance on each product explains the shape underneath the shoe so size is not the only fit decision.
Horsebit loafers pair a slip-on loafer pattern with metal hardware across the vamp. Handsole uses the bit as a design element rather than a shortcut around fit, so each product page still identifies the actual last, toe shape, leather, lining, sole and construction for that specific pair.
Fit depends on more than nominal length. Heel hold, forefoot room and instep volume can change with the last and width, so compare US size, width and the product fit notes together.
The Edward last is the narrower almond direction, Henry is semi-square, Arthur is rounder and roomier through the forefoot, Winston is apron-toe oriented, and McKenzie is the elongated pointed-almond direction. Compare measurements and product fit notes rather than using a last as a diagnosis.
Construction varies by product. Handsole may use traditional welted or other appropriate methods depending on the design; the individual product’s Materials & Construction section is the authority for the actual pair.
Lining, sole material and repairability vary by product. Read the PDP for the actual lining and outsole, then use the Craft guide to understand how the stated construction affects maintenance and potential repair.
