How does Haruta 6550 / 850 sizing compare to sneakers?

Haruta 6550 / 850 loafers generally run larger than standard sneakers. If you wear a Nike US 9, we recommend sizing down to a Haruta 26.0cm or 26.5cm. A snug fit is essential as the leather will stretch slightly over time.

What does the '3E' width mean in Haruta shoes?

The '3E' label indicates a Wide Fit design. It provides extra volume in the toe box and midfoot, making Haruta 6550 exceptionally comfortable for those with wider feet.

How much is the shipping for Haruta 6550 / 850 to the US, UK, or Australia?

We offer competitive flat-rate shipping: USA is $15 USD, UK is £12 GBP, and Australia is $22 AUD. We also offer Free Shipping on orders over $250 USD / £200 GBP / $350 AUD.

Can I return my Haruta loafers if they don't fit?

Frequently asked questions

Verdict: They run slightly large.
Most Hawkins loafers feature a roomy 3E Wide Fit design to accommodate wider foot shapes.

Recommendation: We recommend sizing down 0.5cm from your usual sneaker size (e.g., Nike, New Balance) for the best fit.
Note: For the Soft Loafer, the material is flexible immediately. For the Oliver (Genuine Leather), a snug initial fit is recommended as the leather will mold to your feet over time.

It depends on the specific model you choose:

Hawkins Soft Loafer: Made from Premium Synthetic Leather. These are fully washable, water-resistant, and require zero maintenance.
Hawkins Oliver Loafer: Made from Genuine Cowhide. These offer a polished, premium look, high breathability, and will conform to your foot shape for a custom fit.

Both are iconic Japanese brands, but they cater to different preferences:

Hawkins (The Modern Choice): Focuses on sneaker-like technology. They are lighter, softer, and often washable. Ideal for those who prioritize immediate comfort, flexibility, and easy maintenance.
Haruta (The Traditional Choice): Focuses on heritage and structure. Known for their durable, stiffer leather construction that holds a sharp shape for years. Ideal for those who want the classic, authentic "hard shoe" silhouette and don't mind a break-in period.
