FAQs
What type of leather is used for the upper?
The upper is made from high-quality, grainy milled calf leather.
What is the main benefit of the Finproject Extralight sole?
The Extralight sole provides exceptional lightness and durability, making the shoes comfortable for extended wear.
How should I clean these navy leather shoes?
Clean with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner specifically designed for calf leather. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
These are classified as low shoes with brogue detailing, making them ideal for smart-casual occasions. For very formal events, a more traditional polished dress shoe might be preferred.
What does 'antique finished' mean for the leather?
The antique finish is applied to the toe and heel to give the leather a richer, multi-tonal appearance, adding depth and character.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to dry them naturally if they do get wet.
What is the sizing like for these shoes?
These are available in UK adult male sizes. It is recommended to refer to a sizing guide or try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Ensure the shoes are stored with shoe trees when not in use and apply leather conditioner regularly to maintain suppleness.
Scuff marks on antique finish
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repairer or use a specialist leather repair kit compatible with antique finishes.
Discomfort due to stiffness
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, ensure correct sizing.
