FAQs

What type of leather are these shoes made from?

These shoes are made from soft, polished Italian calf leather.

Are these shoes suitable for formal business meetings?

Yes, their polished leather finish and classic silhouette make them suitable for most business settings, especially when paired with appropriate attire. However, their unstructured nature offers a slightly more relaxed feel than traditional formal shoes.

How should I clean and maintain the polished leather?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specific leather cleaner sparingly if needed. Maintain the shine with a neutral or color-matched shoe polish and buff gently. Condition the leather periodically to keep it supple.

What does 'unstructured derby silhouette' mean?

It refers to a derby shoe design that lacks rigid internal structure, resulting in a softer, more relaxed, and often slouchier shape compared to traditional, more structured dress shoes.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather sole offers some protection, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Applying a leather-specific waterproof spray can offer additional protection, but caution is still advised.

What is the expected lifespan of the leather sole?

The lifespan of the leather sole depends heavily on usage frequency, walking surface, and maintenance. With proper care and occasional resoling by a cobbler, the sole can last for many years.

Do these shoes come with a warranty?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for details on coverage and duration.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with new leather shoes, especially those with an unstructured design. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using high-quality socks can also help with comfort during the break-in period. Consider using leather stretching aids if persistent discomfort occurs.

Leather scuffs or marks easily

The polished leather finish is susceptible to scuffs. Address minor scuffs gently with a soft cloth and appropriate leather polish. For deeper marks, consult a professional cobbler. Regular conditioning and protection sprays can help prevent damage.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace frayed or broken laces with new ones of similar material and length. Ensure the eyelets are smooth to prevent excessive wear on the laces.

Soles or heels show wear

Regularly inspect the leather sole and stacked heel for signs of wear. A qualified cobbler can resole or re-heel the shoes to extend their lifespan.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, a leather cleaner specifically designed for calfskin can be used sparingly.
  2. Polishing: Apply a neutral or color-matched shoe polish using a soft cloth or brush to maintain the polished finish. Buff gently after application.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather with a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.

  5. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
