FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adults.
Can these be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Clean them by hand only.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The leather will stretch slightly over time, which often accommodates wider feet better than canvas models.
Do I need to waterproof them?
While leather is naturally water-resistant, applying a leather-safe waterproofing spray can provide extra protection in wet weather.
Are these strictly for skating?
While inspired by skate culture, they are designed as casual lifestyle shoes for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Leather naturally stiffens during shipping; wear them for 30-60 minutes at a time to allow your body heat to soften the material.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather
Gently rub the scuff with a clean, slightly damp cloth; for stubborn marks, use a small amount of leather cream or polish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods around the house before taking them on long walks to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot.
- Care: Use a soft brush to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-safe cleaner and a protective conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Compatibility: The low-cut design works best with low-cut or no-show socks to maintain the aesthetic of the silhouette.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather over time.
