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
Reggio Emilia states its case as the birthplace of the Italian flag – the famous red, white and green tricolour. The Valli Municipal Theatre is simply breathtaking. If you have the opportunity to see a concert, ballet, or opera live within these historic walls, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Elaborate frescoes adorn the ceiling, the main stage curtain is painted, and the gilded box seats with their crushed red velvet chairs will have you applauding with excitement even before the show has started.

Since Ancient times, the city of Parma has been considered Italy’s gastronomic capital. Nestled in the Po Valley in the heart of the province, it is the wellspring for a bewildering number of Italian delicacies: prosciutto di Parma, Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and tortelli to name but a few. Parma is the city of good food, bicycles, boutiques, small houses painted in light colors, and of course, magnificent palazzos.

Travel Tips
A small, quiet, and well-heeled city, Ravenna has brick palaces, cobblestone streets, magnificent monuments, and spectacular Byzantine mosaics. The high point in its civic history occurred in the 5th century, when Pope Honorious moved his court here from Rome. Gothic kings Odoacer and Theodoric ruled the city until it was conquered by the Byzantines in AD 540. Ravenna later fell under the sway of Venice, and then, inevitably, the Papal States.
