Do Fabiani new-arrival sneakers run true to size?

Fabiani generally runs true to European sizing, but fits can vary by model; we prioritise foot length, forefoot width and intended sock thickness when choosing a size. For thicker winter socks in South Africa we often suggest adding a half-size, and when in doubt we recommend trying the nearest half-size in-store or ordering two sizes to compare at home .

How should I measure my foot for Fabiani sneakers?

We measure by standing on a sheet, marking the heel and longest toe, then measuring the distance in centimetres and comparing that to the brand size chart where available. If no chart is provided, testing the nearest half-size at home or in-store is the safest approach.

Which materials work best for South African conditions and how do we care for them?

Smooth leather wipes clean and polishes well for urban wear, while mixed-textile uppers with leather overlays breathe better in summer and cope with dust; suede needs brushing and occasional protector spray. We recommend material-specific care - wipe leather after dust and use protector spray on suede - especially in coastal or humid areas.

What quick checks should we make when a Fabiani pair arrives?

Check the upper material (full-grain leather or mixed textile), the sole profile (EVA chunky vs slim rubber) and inner lining padding for first-day comfort, plus inspect stitching and sole join for consistent quality. These features tell you how the shoe will perform for commuting, light walking or smart-casual wear.

Which Fabiani colourways should we choose for versatility?

For everyday versatility we suggest one neutral pair - mid-tone tan, clean black or muted grey - and a second relaxed or statement pair with suede or a subtle accent trim; white leather looks crisp but needs routine cleaning. Accent trims like a blue stripe or gum sole work well if you want a small update without changing your whole wardrobe.

Why Fabiani new arrivals matter to us

We see Fabiani as a label that balances smart finishes with everyday wearability. The new arrivals cycle usually brings fresh colourways, updated soles and a few design details that make these sneakers feel modern without losing that classic silhouette. If you want a shoe that moves comfortably from weekday errands to a relaxed weekend lunch, the latest Fabiani sneakers are worth a look.

How we think about these new styles

Rather than chase gimmicks, we focus on three practical changes designers make when they refresh a sneaker line: the sole profile (for comfort and grip), upper materials (leather, suede or mixed textiles) and the colour palette (neutrals plus one contrasting accent). Those elements determine how you’ll use the shoe in real life - commuting, light walking, or dressing up smart-casual.

Quick features to check on arrival

Upper: full-grain leather or mixed textile - affects breathability and shine.
Sole: chunky EVA vs slim rubber - comfort and weight differ noticeably.
Inner lining: padded or simple fabric - impacts first-day comfort.
Colourways: classic neutrals, seasonal brights, and contrast trims.

Sizing: the practical guide

Fabiani shoes tend to run true to European sizing but different models can fit differently. Our approach when a new Fabiani sneaker arrives is to treat three measures as priorities: foot length, forefoot width, and intended sock thickness. For many of us in South Africa, adding a half-size when planning for thicker socks in winter is a sensible move.

Measure: step on a sheet, mark heel and longest toe, then measure in centimetres.
Convert: compare your cm measurement to the brand size chart where possible. When charts aren’t available, prefer trying the nearest half-size in-store or order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t fit.
Break-in: leather uppers will soften. If a leather pair feels snug at first but the toe area has room, it will generally relax after a few wears.

If you’re buying online, check the product page for supplier notes (some Fabiani models note narrower or wider fits). We also recommend ordering from retailers with straightforward returns so you can test at home - for example, explore our Sneakers collection on Bash to see availability and delivery options.

Materials and care that matter in South Africa

Coastal humidity, dust and the odd summer shower mean choosing the right material is important. Smooth leather wipes clean easily and polishes well, while suede needs more careful brushing and occasional protector spray. For everyday wear in urban environments, a mixed-textile upper with leather overlays is a practical compromise: it breathes better in summer and still looks smart with jeans or chinos.

Where the new arrivals fit in your wardrobe

New Fabiani sneakers usually arrive in three wardrobe roles: smart-casual (clean white or tan leather), relaxed weekend (textured suede or suede-mix), and sporty-inspired (chunky sole, bold trims). We recommend one neutral pair for work-friendly days and one more relaxed or statement pair for weekends. For more styling ideas, see our Men collection as a starting point.

Choosing the right colour and finish

When Fabiani releases new colours, think about how a shoe will age in regular South African wear. White leather looks crisp but needs routine cleaning; muted tans and greys hide light scuffs better. If you want a shoe that pairs with both dark denim and chinos, choose a mid-tone tan or a clean black. Accent colours - a blue stripe, gum sole or stitched contrast - are great when you want a subtle update without changing your whole wardrobe.

Practical buying tips

Try heel lock: a good heel fit prevents long-term rubbing and improves walking comfort.
Check the sole join: well-bonded soles are easier to repair if needed.
Inspect stitching: neat, even stitching is a simple sign of consistent quality.
Ask for return details: always confirm how easy exchanges or returns are for online orders.

How we recommend wearing new Fabiani sneakers

For everyday style: pair leather Fabiani sneakers with tapered denim and a lightweight jacket. For work-friendly looks: match neutral leather pairs with chinos and a knit polo. For weekends: suede or textile models work well with linen shorts or jeans. These combinations keep the shoe central without over-styling it.

Quick note: Prices for Fabiani sneakers vary by model and finish. Expect a mid-range to premium band in South Africa; many leather styles sit around R1 000-R2 500 depending on features and retailer promotions. Check product pages for the latest pricing and offers.
