Quick Release buckle
We're in the process of transitioning to the handy 'quick release' buckle which will make putting on your shoes every day quicker and easier, particularly if you have trouble with bending for too long. We hope you love this new buckle as much as we do - no more tedious threading of straps!
Why change?
Our goal is to make vintage style comfortable and easy to wear, but with an ankle strap it was always going to be a little bit tedious to put on and take off everyday. So to make things more convenient, we discovered the quick release buckle which we heard was a fantastic time saver as well as beneficial for those who have disabilities that make it hard to bend down for too long to strap a shoe on.
Will my pair have this new buckle?
We're still in the process of transitioning over, so many of our shoes will still have the traditional buckle for now. New styles for 2020 will have the new buckle.

How does it work?
- Slip the strap out so you have the strap + buckle
- Optional: Adjust the buckle to the position you require (i.e. the hole you would normally thread through. The default is the third hole)
- Put your feet in the shoe as you normally would
- Pull the strap over the foot and pull down gently. Slide the strap over the latch hook so the buckle is on the outside
