FAQs

What is the primary material used in the Kleman Major VP Oak 2?

The shoe is primarily constructed from 85% suede split cowhide and 15% cowhide leather.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

While the description doesn't specify width options, the removable footbed can offer some adjustability. It's recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush for regular maintenance and dirt removal. For stains, a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth can be used, followed by natural drying.

What is the heel height of these shoes?

The shoes feature a 3cm heel height.

What does the 'Tyrolean' style refer to?

Tyrolean refers to a style of shoe construction originating from the Tyrol region, often characterized by a moccasin-stitched toe box with a distinctive scalloped hem, as seen on these Kleman shoes.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the shoe comes with a removable leather footbed, allowing for replacement with custom insoles if desired.

What is the origin of Kleman's rubber sole design?

The rubber sole design originates from mountaineering boots used in the Alps, providing durability and grip.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dry or dirty.

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction after cleaning.

Footbed feels uncomfortable or worn.

The footbed is removable. If it's worn, consider replacing it with a new one or a preferred aftermarket insole for customized comfort.

Rubber sole loses grip.

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any accumulated mud, dirt, or debris that may be reducing traction.

Leather elements show signs of drying.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to the leather portions of the shoe. Allow it to absorb and buff off any excess.

  • Classic and versatile design that pairs well with various outfits.

Cons

  • Suede material may require more specific care than smooth leather.
  • Availability of specific sizes can vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Major VP Oak 2 is designed as a versatile low shoe for adult men and unisex wear. It pairs well with a range of casual and smart-casual attire, including jeans, chinos, and trousers.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Care: Regularly brush suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring to dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Leather Care: The cowhide leather elements can be maintained with a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure it is free from debris that could affect grip.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
