Please notice that all ABO shoes displayed on our webs shop are available only as pre-order items. This means that the pair of ABO shoes you want will be produced upon your purchase. ABO shoes are handmade and our production is very limited. We don`t have stock and pre-order is an order placed for an item that is not yet produced. ABO develops beautifully crafted products with an authentic and consistent consideration to responsible production. This way we are making sure that each pair of ABO shoes are made to perfection and are worth waiting for. ABO shoes made as a special request will be ready within 30 days from the day of the purchase. Add to that shipping time and please be aware that it will take about a month and a half in total to receive your pair of ABO`s. If you can wait, we would be more than glad to proceed with your pre-order. For shoes ordered during big sale actions, add 7 working days to normal production time for your ABO`s to get ready for shipping. ABO products ordered during big sale actions cannot be returned or replaced by another pair. Order of sale items cannot be cancelled. ​ Once a pre-order is placed, it cannot be cancelled. ABO shoes that are made as a pre-order cannot be returned or replaced by another pair. ABO shoes are handmade, our production is very small and accepting a special order means that we will make additional effort and time to process it, so make sure you are familiar with our Terms & Conditions before you make a special request. Please go trough SIZE GUIDE instructions to make sure you order shoe size you need. By pre-order system of purchase ABO Studio is making impact on our planet as low as possible.

We are currently producing ABO shoes in EU sizes 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 41. Smaller and larger sizes will be available soon. Although our web shop purchase option is only pre-order, we have limited collections of ABO shoes available in our exclusive Belgrade shop. We usually make up to 5 pairs (in each available size) per color combination. If it happens that, by popular demand, we do repeat a color scheme, it is repeated on 20 pairs of ABO shoes at most, which means that you probably won`t meet another person wearing ABO`s just like yours! ​
