FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
No, as these shoes are made from suede, they are best suited for dry weather conditions. Suede can be damaged by water and may stain easily. It's recommended to apply a protective spray to help with water resistance.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes are listed in UK adult sizing. It's generally recommended to order your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific brand sizing guides or customer reviews if available for fit insights.
Can I wear these shoes in a formal setting?
The Tower London Apache Shoes are primarily designed for casual and smart-casual wear due to their moccasin-inspired suede finish. For strictly formal events, a polished leather shoe would typically be more appropriate.
How do I prevent the suede from getting marked?
Regular use of a suede protective spray can significantly help. Additionally, avoiding contact with abrasive surfaces, mud, and excessive moisture will preserve the suede's appearance. Always clean gently with a suede brush after wear.
Is the crepe sole durable?
The simple crepe rubber sole is chosen for its comfort and flexibility for everyday wear. While durable for its intended use, it is softer than some other sole materials and may show wear or pick up dirt more visibly over time. Regular cleaning helps maintain its look.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, Tower London Apache Shoes are reported to fit true to size based on standard UK adult footwear measurements. However, individual foot shapes and preferences can vary. Info needed: [Provide any specific fitting notes if available from the brand].
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, consider a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Suede shoes often require a breaking-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your feet. The soft suede is designed to become more comfortable over time.
Crepe sole is attracting too much dirt
Gently clean the sole with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, ensuring not to get the suede wet. Regular cleaning will prevent excessive buildup.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying the laces securely. If they continue to loosen, try a double knot. Replacement laces are also an option if the existing ones are worn or slick.

Care Instructions for Suede:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, it's highly recommended to treat the suede with a protective spray. This helps repel water and stains, making them easier to clean.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp, clean cloth. Dab, don't rub, to avoid spreading the stain.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, specialized suede cleaning solutions can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape and prevent creasing.
Crepe Sole Care:
- The natural texture of the crepe sole can pick up dirt and debris. Gently scrub with a soft brush and a mild soap solution if necessary, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
