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.

Travel Tips
Surrounded by well-preserved ramparts, layered with history, alternately quaint and urbane, Lucca charms its visitors. Though it hasn't been involved in a war since 1430, it is Italy's most impressive fortress city, encircled by a perfectly intact Renaissance wall. The wall is enjoyed like a community roof garden by locals and is ideal for a laid-back bike ride. It's simply a uniquely human and undamaged, never-bombed city.

Travel Tips
Saturnia is known for its hot water: every second, 800 litres rise to the surface at 37°C. You can soak outdoors in thermal waters for free, 2 miles south of Saturnia’s small centre at the Cascate del Mulino (aka Cascate del Gorello). At this photogenic spot beside an old mill, a waterfall has formed a series of shallow, cobalt-blue pools.

Piazza Duomo in Trento is an absolute must-see. Give your Trentos a break and sit and absorb the history and watch the people wandering through. A beautiful place to take in the city.

Your Trentos will fit right into this beautiful castle.
