Frequently Asked Questions

"Womads" comes from the words "women" and "nomads" fused together.

I founded Womads because I am an active woman who loves traveling and exploring in comfort and style.

For me, being a nomad is feeling the excitement of the unknown, looking for new discoveries, constantly learning from others, making the most of all situations, adapting and growing.

At its core, Womads is about supporting other women on their exploration of their life journey.

The Womads peep toe flats are so comfortable and versatile that they will become your go-to shoes for living your active life. You won't have to worry about prioritizing either style or comfort, because now you can get both together. They are the best shoes for traveling women, they are comfortable for all-day wear, and they are stylish for evening wear.

We're proud to be based in Miami Beach. We do not currently have any store locations, but if you're in the area don't hesitate to get in touch!

Our leather is sourced from Colombia and our soles are manufactured in Medellín. Our soles are made from natural rubber sourced in the south of Colombia where farmers are reforesting areas previously drained and used for growing illicit crops.

I would argue that Womads leather flats—both peep toes and Oxfords—are the best travel shoes! You can slip numerous pairs into your suitcase or bag without them taking much space. They're very practical to slip on and off during airport security checks. They are great for walking, exploring all day long, and dressing up in the evening.

The Womads Crossbody bag is also the ideal travel companion. It's a perfect to keep your essentials safe and close at the airport or when you're out exploring. It's extra light and cozy, and feels like you're not even wearing a bag which is great when you don't want to put your bag down.

Womads shoes fit true to size, so if you're a size 7 typically, you'll be a size 7 in Womads.

For Peep Toes: If you're a half size, I recommend sizing down since the leather will stretch to your foot and the elastic keeps the shoes flexible.

For Oxfords: If you're between sizes and want a little more room (maybe for socks or for more width), size up. you can always tighten the shoes with the laces.

Please refer to size chart on each product page for specific measurements.

Here are video resources to answer all your fit questions.

The Womads are regular width; neither wide nor narrow. But the leather has room to stretch to your foot. If you have a wide foot, you can use some of these stretching tips or bring the shoes to be professionally stretches.

Unfortunately, we aren't able to offer wide or narrow sizes at this time.

I'm really sorry if we don't carry your size yet. We are still a very small business and need to be careful with inventory. However, my goal is to make Womads as accessible as possible to support all women. So please send me an email letting me know what size you need and I'll make note of it for future plans.

Our goal was to make the most comfortable sandals and shoes for women and our Peep Toes and Oxfords are as comfortable as it gets without wearing slippers. The upper will stretch to your foot shape and the heel is extra supple without rigid reinforcements. The inner sole is made of a thin layer of breathable padded leather. Your foot will feel supported without any restrictions.

The soft leather used to make Womads shoes is specifically selected because it's strong but stretchy. After a few walks, you'll notice that the upper starts taking on the shape of your toes. That's why it's best to size down.

Our lightly padded leather insoles are designed for all-day comfort and maximum flexibility, but every foot is different!

If your feet prefer a little arch support, a simple insert can do the trick.

My recommendation: Grab a slim arch support insert from Amazon - they're usually under $10 and can transform how your shoes feel. I've tested the Dr. Foot's Arch Support Shoe Inserts and they stayed on very well!

Absolutely! We made Womads peep toe flats and Oxfords for this purpose, so that you'd have a stylish option that you can wear all day if needed. The insole is lightly padded with leather and the natural rubber sole has great grip and flexibility. You'll feel light on your feet and free to move!

This one depends. We've had women with Plantar Fasciitis love their new Womads.

For example, Madison Kelly wrote:
"These shoes are perfect and I wear them everywhere. I wear an 8.5 so got the 8…. It took a few wears to have them stretch out comfortably, but now I’m unstoppable! I wanted something dressier (than other brand adventure sandals) but would be ok with my crippling plantar fasciitis. Wearing them to dinner, then the 4 mile walk after dinner, it’s safe to say these shoes take the cake! Thank you Womads!"

However, we are not doctors and cannot advise on what's best for your foot condition. Our hope is that Womads provide relief to as many women as possible, but please consult your doctor for personalized recommendations.

If you're unsure, please reach out to us so we can help and also remember that you can return your pair if it doesn't work out.

Cleaning your Womads every so often is a great way to keep them looking their best. When they get a little dirty, start by wiping them down with a soft humid cloth.

We made a leather cream specifically for caring for your Womads, and you can see this article for detailed instructions.

The Womads soles are made of leather and do not retain odor. After continuous usage in hot Miami summers we have NOT detected any "foot smell". The leather sole is slightly padded, it's very breathable and has great ventilation which prevents smelly bacteria from forming.

Yes, the sole is made of natural rubber which provides very good grip. The texture on the bottom of your sole gives an additional traction. The Womads are great fashionable walking sandals and Oxfords for women because you won't slip or feel unstable.

Ideally you wouldn't purposefully soak your Womads. That being said, we have done many tests—getting caught in Miami rain storms—and, once dry, the Womads look unchanged. Metallic leathers (ex.Golden Nectar and Silver Mirror) are a little more delicate, so try not to get those wet as much as possible.

Yes! These women's leather flats are expertly made to last. The soft Colombian leather and natural rubber used to make these comfortable sandals are only the best quality. You can wear them every day to walk, bike, work, travel, etc. without worry.
