FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Tayil Derby Shoes are designed in a regular fit. If you have significantly wide feet, they may feel snug. Consider trying them on in person or looking for wider fit options if available.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, these shoes are not waterproof. For rainy conditions, it is recommended to use a waterproofing spray for leather and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider alternative footwear for very wet weather.
How often should I polish these shoes?
The frequency of polishing depends on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. Generally, polishing every 4-6 wears, or whenever they start to look dull or scuffed, is recommended to maintain their appearance.
What is the best way to store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using cedar shoe trees is highly recommended as they help absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's shape.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the leather?
Allow any caked-on mud to dry first. Then, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the shoes with a slightly damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
What type of socks should I wear with these Derby shoes?
Dress socks made of wool, cotton blends, or silk are ideal. They should complement the formality of the shoes and your outfit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable during the first few wears.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Using thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly.
Leather surface shows minor scuffs or scratches.
Use a black shoe polish or a leather repair balm to gently buff out minor imperfections. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be necessary.
Laces fray or break.
Replace the laces with a new pair of appropriate length and material. Dress shoe laces are typically recommended.
Shoes lose their shine.
Clean the shoes and apply a quality black shoe polish. Buff vigorously with a soft cloth or a horsehair brush to restore the shine.
