Laurentian Chief Women's Footwear Sizing Guide

Use this guide to find your best fit for Laurentian Chief Women's Footwear style.

Embrace the heritage of traditional craftsmanship with Laurentian Chief women’s footwear at Wei’s Western Wear. Hand-stitched in Quebec by Eugène Cloutier since 1945, these moccasins and slippers are built with an "Organic Fit" philosophy. Unlike mass-produced shoes, Laurentian Chief utilizes premium, supple leathers like moosehide and cowhide that are designed to act as a second skin. Whether you are choosing the elegantly detailed Laurentian Chief Women's Moccasins Braid Lined Indian Tan Suede for daily wear or the cozy Laurentian Chief Sheepskin Moccasin Slippers for home, the materials are specifically selected for their ability to breathe and conform to the unique contours of your feet over time.

A unique fit characteristic of Laurentian Chief is that most styles are handcrafted in whole sizes only. A common sizing concern for Wei’s customers is the "half-size" dilemma: because natural suede and leather stretch significantly with wear, the general rule of thumb is to size down to the nearest whole size (e.g., if you wear a 7.5, we recommend a size 7). This ensures that once the leather fibers relax and mold to your foot width, the footwear remains secure rather than becoming loose. If you prefer your Sheepskin Moccasins with a roomier feel or intend to wear heavy socks, staying true to your larger whole size may be appropriate. By selecting your "Wei's approved" size, you are investing in a piece of Canadian history that offers personalized comfort with every step.
