FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The unstructured, relaxed design allows for some flexibility, but they are generally built to a standard width. It is recommended to try your standard UK size first.
Can I wear these with a tuxedo?
While versatile, these are derby-style shoes and are better suited for business or smart-casual wear rather than strictly formal black-tie events.
Do I need to break these in?
The Collapsing Consultant is designed to be comfortable from the first wear due to its unstructured construction, though the leather will soften further with use.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place using shoe trees to maintain their shape and prevent the leather from collapsing in unintended ways.
Can I replace the soles if they wear down?
Like many high-quality leather shoes, a skilled cobbler can often replace the heel or provide a half-sole to extend the life of the footwear.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dull or dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish, then buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural sheen.
Creasing at the vamp from normal wear
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Ensure a double knot is used if the wax-coated laces feel slippery, or replace with standard cotton laces for higher friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since these shoes are made from high-quality leather, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. Use a soft horsehair brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the leather begins to look dull, apply a high-quality neutral or black leather cream to rehydrate the material, followed by a light buffing with a cotton cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as excess moisture can damage the leather finish. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
