FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor wear?
Yes, they are suitable for dry outdoor conditions, though they are not designed to be waterproof or for heavy-duty hiking.
Can I wear these without socks?
Absolutely. The shearling lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin.
How do I clean the shearling lining?
Use a gentle brush to remove lint and avoid getting the interior overly wet.
Will the suede get damaged in the rain?
Suede is highly susceptible to water damage; it is recommended to apply a suede-safe water repellent spray and avoid wearing them in wet weather.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading and the cork from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff when new
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot; wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to soften and adapt.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface debris.
Strap feels too loose or tight
Use the aged metal buckle to adjust the strap placement to ensure the shoe sits firmly against your instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, begin by adjusting the strap to a comfortable tightness that keeps the foot secure without restricting circulation. Because these contain natural materials, it is best to avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or dryers, which can crack the cork or harden the suede. Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dust or dry mud. If the suede becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Regularly inspect the cork edges; if they appear to be drying out, a thin layer of cork sealant can help maintain the integrity of the footbed.
