WE USE EUROPEAN SIZING AT VIAJIYU
We make shoes from 33 to 43, including half sizes. Some styles are available in 43.5-44. We also make narrow and wide shoes on special request.
The founder of VIAJIYU wears a size 8. She is a size 38 in all the wedge styles and loafers. For the flat styles, she often opts for a size 38.5, especially in the Como and Roma.

Travel Tips
Elba is the Tuscan archipelago's largest island, but it resembles nearby verdant Corsica more than it does its rocky Italian sisters, thanks to a network of underground springs that keep it lush and green. It's this combination of semitropical vegetation and dramatic mountain scenery—unusual in the Mediterranean—that has made Elba so prized for so long, and the island's uniqueness continues to draw boatloads of visitors throughout the warm months.
