FAQs
What material are these shoes made from?
These Michael Oxford shoes feature a polished faux leather upper, offering a sleek and sophisticated look with a smooth finish.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday work wear?
Yes, with their classic design, cushioned insole for comfort, and durable slip-resistant sole, they are well-suited for everyday business attire and work environments.
How do I clean and maintain the faux leather?
Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution or a specialized faux leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and store in a cool, dry place with shoe trees to maintain shape.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While faux leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to preserve their condition.
Can I replace the soles if they wear out?
The durable slip-resistant sole is integrated into the shoe's design. While technically possible, sole replacement for this type of shoe might be complex and costly. It is generally not designed for easy replacement.
Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?
This specific product is available in Black. For other sizes, please check the product listings. Other color options for similar styles may be available from the brand.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or Marks on Faux Leather Upper
For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of mild soap on a damp cloth, then wipe clean and dry. A specialized faux leather cleaner can be used for deeper marks, following product instructions.
Slipping on Wet or Smooth Surfaces
Ensure the durable slip-resistant sole is clean and free of debris. While designed to be slip-resistant, always exercise caution on wet, icy, or highly polished surfaces. Consider adding a non-slip sole protector if frequently encountering such conditions (consult a cobbler).
Discomfort During Extended Wear
Ensure you have the correct size. The shoes feature a cushioned insole for comfort, but if discomfort persists, consider using thin, high-quality socks or additional slim orthotic inserts for personalized arch support. Break in new shoes by wearing them for short periods initially.
Shoes Losing Their Polished Look
Regularly wipe down the shoes to remove dust and maintain their sheen. You can use a faux leather conditioner or a protector spray specifically designed for synthetic materials to restore and protect the polished finish. Buff gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
Versatile Wear: Suitable for formal, semi-formal, business, and smart-casual outfits.
All-Day Comfort: Cushioned insole provides support for extended periods.
Secure Footing: Durable, slip-resistant sole enhances safety on various surfaces.
Sharp Aesthetic: Almond toe and polished finish deliver a refined look.
Cons
Faux Leather Material: May not appeal to those who prefer genuine leather.
Specific Care Required: Faux leather needs particular cleaning and maintenance to retain its finish.
Limited Color Options: Currently available only in black, limiting styling variety.
Breathability: Faux leather may offer less breathability compared to genuine leather.
Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care & Maintenance (Faux Leather)
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the polished faux leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe dry.
Deep Cleaning: For stubborn scuffs or grime, a specialized faux leather cleaner can be applied according to product instructions.
Polishing: While faux leather doesn't require traditional shoe polish, a faux leather conditioner or protector spray can help maintain its sheen and protect against minor abrasions. Apply sparingly and buff with a clean cloth.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in a shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and scratches.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh solvents, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the faux leather finish.
