Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing
Our shoes run true to U.S. sizes and are crafted to a standard D medium width. We currently only offer whole sizes and suggest sizing down to the nearest whole size if you wear half sizes. If you prefer a wider fit, we suggest selecting one size up. You can view a sizing chart with measurements on every product page under the “Sizing Help” tab, like the one here.
Yes! All Marc Nolan shoes run true to size and are standard size D width. For more details, we have a handy sizing chart on every product page like this one here.
At this time, we only carry full sizes. We suggest sizing down if you wear half sizes. For instance, if you typically wear size 10.5 your Marc Nolan size is 10. Let us know if you have more questions about sizing by reaching out to us at help@marcnolan.com. We’d love to help you get the perfect fit!
Products
All Marc Nolan shoes are made from calfskin leather, full grain leather, sheepskin suede, or a combination of each. We choose the highest quality materials so our shoes are made to last.
We use higher leathers, internal components, longer lasting rubber soles to construct our shoes. The soles on our shoes are cemented to the upper with glue. We choose this method of construction to provide our customers with accessible prices without sacrificing quality or style. For more about construction and materials used, these details are available on each product page underneath the product description.

All Marc Nolan shoes are designed in Chicago, made from leather sourced from different parts of the world. We work with small factories in Guangzhou, China – some of the same ones that produce your favorite designer labels. We visit them multiple times a year and build personal relationships with the owners. With these direct relationships and running a lean operation, we are able to keep our costs down and deliver premium quality shoes without paying for typical luxury markups.
Every pair of Marc Nolan shoes comes with a shoehorn to help preserve the back counter, and dust bags to prevent damage in storage or when traveling. We recommend inserting wooden shoetrees after each wear to preserve overall shoe structure and condition. Shoes should also be routinely polished to ensure leather remains supple and well moisturized.
Shipping
We currently ship to all 50 states and can assist with shipping internationally in certain cases.
Shipping outside of the US will require additional fees that will be included in the final cost of your order. Please note that countries require recipients to pay import tax fees or other fees when claiming internationally shipped packages, and unfortunately we cannot offset the cost of these fees. Also note that we are unable to offer free exchanges and returns. If you happen to need an exchange or would like to return any items, you will be responsible for the shipping and we'll work with you to make it as easy as possible. Additionally, when a package leaves the US, Marc Nolan no longer has access to tracking information and cannot be responsible for misplaced packages once they arrive in the country of shipping designation. Reach out to us at help@marcnolan.com and we’ll be happy to assist with retrieving rates and answering further questions.
Yes, we offer expedited shipping for an additional fee. Reach out to help@marcnolan.com to let us know where we can ship your order, and we’ll be happy to provide rates and further information.

We try our best to process and ship every order within one business day. We also do our best to let every customer know if their order will take longer than usual to fulfill. If you have questions about the status of your order, feel free to reach out to us at help@marcnolan.com or at 312-420-7769.
After ordering, processing takes 1 to 2 business days. Then one of our carriers takes care of your package the rest of the way. You’ll get a shipment notification with a tracking number as soon as your package ships. For orders within the contiguous US, packages usually arrive in 1-3 business days after notification of shipment. Please allow for longer shipping periods if outside the contiguous US.
Marc Nolan is not responsible for orders lost in transit.
As an option at checkout, we offer Navidium Shipping Protection for all Marc Nolan orders – selected as an option by default. Simply keep this protection option on at checkout and your package will be protected in the event of damage, loss, or theft.
If your order includes Navidium Shipping Protection and you experience damage to your package while in transit, or loss/theft at delivery, please contact our team (help@marcnolan.com) and they will help you through the simple claim and replacement process.
If your package is not protected with Navidium Shipping Protection, Marc Nolan is unable to accept any liability for damage, loss, or theft. However, our team will still be happy to assist you with filing a claim with the carrier. This will prompt FedEx to investigate the delivery for damage or mis-delivery.
If your claim is approved, we will replace your item at no cost (we will not refund it). If your claim is not approved, we will not issue a refund or replacement.
For all customers suspecting loss or theft: If you cannot locate your package, we first suggest that you check with neighbors or anyone else who may have accepted the package on your behalf. If you still can’t find your package, there are a few likely possibilities. The first is the possibility of a carrier mishap meaning they mis-delivered your package. The second is that the package may have been stolen.
Once you’ve confirmed that you’ve exhausted all options to find your package, please contact our team (help@marcnolan.com) and we will be happy to assist you with next steps.
A few recommendations for preventing package theft in the future:
+ Have your package delivered to your workplace.
+ Have your package delivered to the home of a relative or friend that you know will be home.
+ Ask your carrier to place packages in an area out of plain view.
