FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Thin to medium-weight socks, such as cotton or wool blends, are recommended for optimal comfort and fit. Avoid overly thick socks, which may make the shoes feel tight.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on wear and environmental conditions, or whenever the leather appears dry.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.
What is the purpose of the heel pull tab?
The heel pull tab is a design feature inspired by archival styles that aids in easily slipping the shoes on and off.
Is the footbed removable?
The Contour Cushion footbed is integrated for comfort and support and is not designed to be removable.
How do I clean mud or dirt from the leather?
Allow mud to dry, then gently brush off. For tougher dirt, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always follow up with a leather conditioner.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal for genuine leather and often indicates a good fit. Ensure proper conditioning to maintain leather health and use shoe trees for storage to help retain shape.
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Conditioning the leather can also help soften it.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The EVA sole provides cushioning and lightweight performance. If slippage is a concern on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider an aftermarket sole protector or use with caution.
