What is the weight of the shoes?

The shoes have a substantial weight of approximately 1325g, indicating robust construction.

Wipe with a damp cloth, use a leather conditioner periodically, and consider a protective spray. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing prematurely

Ensure proper fit; use shoe trees to maintain shape when not worn. Avoid excessive moisture.

Slight stiffness on first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Reduced grip on the sole

Check the rubber sole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If significantly worn, consider professional resoling.

Discoloration on leather

Use a cleaner specifically designed for high-shine leather. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

These shoes require no specific setup beyond wearing. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility:

The Base London Dome Derby shoes are designed as versatile footwear compatible with a wide range of adult male wardrobes. They pair well with formal suits, business attire, and smart-casual outfits.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For scuffs, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Use products specifically designed for high-shine leather.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to offer protection against spills and moisture. Allow shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat if they become wet.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Use shoe trees to help preserve the shape when not in use.
