Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing and Fit
What size sandal should I order?If this is your first time buying European sizes, you may feel like you are in between sizes. If you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing up. So, if you are a US9 and are choosing between a 39 or 40, we would recommend the 40.
Still unsure? Send us an email. We'd love to help you find the right size!
How do I know if the sandal fits properly?
When you receive your order, the sandals are pre-adjusted. You can just slip them on and pull the back strap around the back of your ankle.
Make sure that the back ankle straps keep your foot securely in place while you walk. You can tighten the fit with the buckle if needed. A secure fit around your ankle while you walk is the best indication of the correct size. We recommend wearing the sandals around your house first to see if the fit is right for you.

About Davka Sandals
Davka. This is what we do. We source the finest materials, utilize traditional craftsmanship, invest in ethical business practices, and offer an incredibly comfortable, stylish product at an affordable price. Why expect anything less.
Where are your sandals made?
We have partnered with a family owned shoe manufacturer based in Verona, Italy. Founded over thirty years ago by a father and his sons, today their company employs over 1,200 workers in both Italy and Bosnia.
Each artisan is personally trained and closely supervised by the founders, who are truly passionate about their craft. Working directly with this highly experienced team has allowed us to see their ethical business practices for ourselves. Their supply chain is fully integrated. All materials and components are sourced from Italy and brought to their own factory in Bosnia. All workers are paid fair wages and have safe working conditions. We are proud to work with an organization which upholds high standards of conditions and quality.
Where can I learn more about Noene?
Working with podiatrists, we found the most advanced shock absorbing technology available today. Swiss-designed, and thinner than a dime, Noene undersoles absorb and dissipate up to 92% of harmful shock waves produced in every step. Visit our Technology of Noene page for more details.
In today’s increasingly interconnected and global marketplace, traditional retail methods are being challenged. The internet has enabled innovative companies to reach out directly to you, the customer, to support new products that speak to your needs.
Comparable leather sandals retail upwards of $200. For approximately half the price, your Davkas include the patented Noene undersole (a separate $35 retail value)!
Funds typically designated for marketing and other retail overhead expenses have been invested directly into our revolutionary product. This way we maintain the highest standards of quality while offering an uniquely affordable price point.
