FAQs

What is the best way to clean glazed leather shoes?

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks, and follow up with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and shine.

Can these derbies be worn in wet weather?

While the glazed leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a waterproofing spray and allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning is recommended every 2-3 months, or more frequently if the shoes are worn often or exposed to dry conditions, to keep the leather supple.

What type of socks are best with these shoes?

Thin to medium-weight dress socks made of wool, cotton blends, or synthetic materials are recommended for comfort and to maintain the shoe's elegant profile.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

Refer to the size guide and consider your usual shoe size. The round toe offers a comfortable fit, but if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try the larger size for leather shoes that may stretch slightly.

What is the heel height?

The heel is a stacked heel, typical for derby shoes, offering a modest lift suitable for formal wear. Specific height may vary but is designed for balance and style.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or losing shine

Clean the shoes with a leather cleaner, then apply a black shoe polish or wax specifically for glazed leather. Buff thoroughly with a soft cloth or brush.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather

Gently buff the affected area with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching color shoe cream or polish to fill and conceal the damage.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Use a leather conditioner to soften the material. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods.

Water spots or stains on the leather

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, clean with a leather cleaner and recondition. Consider using a water-repellent spray for future protection.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Regularly wipe the shoes with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the glazed leather supple and prevent cracking. Buff gently after application.
  3. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish or wax specifically designed for glazed leather to maintain shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply a thin, even layer and buff to a high sheen.
  4. Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for finished leather to protect against moisture, though test in an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
