FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Portico series is generally designed to standard UK sizing, though the leather construction may feel snug at first.

Can I remove the Ortholite insole?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.

Are these suitable for rainy weather?

While durable, these are premium leather dress shoes and are not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.

How do I care for the leather?

Keep them clean with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather cream regularly to keep the material supple.

What is the heel height?

The Portico features a low-profile heel designed to provide subtle elevation without compromising comfort.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff initially

Wear the shoes in short intervals and consider using a leather softening spray to accelerate the break-in process.

Slight slippage at the heel

Ensure the laces are tightened properly; if the issue persists, a heel grip insert can be added to improve the fit.

Surface scuffs appearing

Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform color of the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes last, follow these steps:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors before full-day use to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather-specific conditioner every few months to prevent cracking and maintain the material's luster.
  4. Storage: Use shoe trees to help the shoes retain their shape and absorb moisture after wear.
  5. Compatibility: Best paired with socks made of natural fibers to complement the breathable nature of the leather and Ortholite insole.
