Was worried about what I would get... ended up getting the Mellor II in Horween dark brown and I'm so happy with it. The selection was excellent — materials feel quality and look beautiful.

The shoes fit true to size and are available in both regular (D) and wide (EE) widths.
As all shoes using premium materials require a break-in period, however, once broken in they will become extremely comfortable.

A genuine pair of GORAL shoes but the style, material and colourway is unknown until it arrives at your door.
We've been making shoes by hand for 90 years. The same small team that cuts the materials, stitches the shoes and finishes every pair by hand is the same team that picks yours. They know every shoe in the workshop and they know what a great shoe feels like. When your Mystery Box order comes in, they walk into the workshop and they choose. It's always something they'd be proud to wear.
What you'll receive is a genuine GORAL. Built from premium materials and stitched, lasted and finished by hand in England. They are resoleable, so when the sole eventually wears down, we can rebuild it rather than you replacing the whole shoe. Covered by our lifetime repair promise and with guaranteed value of at least £300 / $400.
There are no returns and no exchanges. That's the nature of the mystery, and the reason it works.
What people said when theirs arrived
"Beautifully made, unique and different leather, and I'm sure a shoe I will be wearing for many years. First pair of Goral, but these definitely won't be my last." - Neil C.
"Totally worth it. The shoes are terrific. In fact I might get another one." - Eric
"Opening this mystery shoe was genuinely a pleasant surprise, in the best possible way." - S.E.

Width Fit: True to Size / Standard / D

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FEET
The easiest way to measure the length and width of your feet is to stand on a piece of paper and draw around your foot.

Measure from the tip of the toe to the heel

WIDTH FITTINGS
Fit Guide: Regular (D) vs Wide (EE)
Most of our customers will feel right at home in our Regular Fit (D). It’s our standard width and suits the majority of foot shapes. But if you have a broader foot or often find standard shoes a little snug, our Wide Fit (EE) offers extra room across the forefoot for all-day comfort.
Our fit options:
The Wide Fit (EE) styles are approximately 1/4 inch (about 6 mm) wider in girth measurement than our Regular Fit (D) styles. This added space offers a more generous fit for broader feet without compromising structure or style.
• In the UK, a D fit is considered average width for men.
• In the USA, this is often called a Medium (M), Standard, or Regular fit.
• A Wide (EE) fit gives you more width across the ball of the foot - roughly one full width size up.
Whether you go with D or EE, both fits are built on the same last and crafted with the same precision. The width is the only difference - the shape, silhouette, and quality remain identical.
Not sure what to pick?
If you usually wear standard-width shoes and they fit just fine, choose Regular (D). If your shoes often feel tight across the front or sides, or you have a naturally wider foot, Wide (EE) might be the better call.
And remember - this isn’t something you need to overthink. If you’re not 100% sure, don’t stress. We offer a flexible returns policy so you can find your perfect fit with peace of mind.
Still unsure? Our customer support team is happy to help you choose the best option, just reach out at customerservices@goral-shoes.co.uk.
Please also note: many factors influence a shoe’s fitting characteristics - including the materials used, construction methods, and overall design. Our size conversion table is based on standard approximations and should be considered a helpful guide rather than an exact science. We are happy to help you choose the best option - just reach out at customerservices@goral-shoes.co.uk with your foot measurement.

The surprise is the style, not the quality
Every pair in the Mystery Box is a genuine GORAL, handmade in England by the same small team that makes everything we sell. Premium leather. Stitched and lasted by hand. Resoleable, so when the sole eventually wears down, we rebuild it rather than you replacing the whole shoe. Covered by our lifetime repair guarantee.
The style, the material, the colourway, that part is the mystery. The craftsmanship never is.

Mystery Box Reviews
I felt comfortable with Goral because I knew that whatever I received was going to be good quality. It was a shoe I had not seen on the website, but it is excellent. I will do this mystery box purchase again.
Mystery box was a great introduction to Goral. The craftsmanship of the shoes is spot on — very comfortable right out of the box. I've ordered a second mystery box.
