While the Ortholite insole provides comfort, the Portico is designed primarily as a formal oxford. They are comfortable for office wear and events, but are not intended for long-distance athletic walking.
The Portico range follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind the slight structure inherent in new leather.
The leather construction provides some resistance, but it is not waterproof. Avoid deep puddles and ensure the shoes are dried naturally away from direct heat if they do get wet.
The heel height is approximately 3 cm, providing a balanced and comfortable profile.
Polishing every few weeks, or whenever the leather begins to look dull, helps nourish the material and maintain the deep black finish.

Ortholite insoles can be replaced with third-party inserts if necessary, though the original insoles are designed for long-term durability.
