FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Ortholite® insole?
The Ortholite® insole provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties for enhanced comfort throughout the day.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to Base London's official sizing chart or compare with other UK-sized footwear you own. Measure your foot length if unsure.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While leather is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are worn often or exposed to harsh conditions.
What is the origin of manufacture for these shoes?
The Base London Strand shoes are manufactured in India.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Strand features a refined derby style, making it suitable for smart-casual and semi-formal events, but typically not for highly formal occasions like black-tie events.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning is part of your care routine.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure you have the correct UK size. Leather will stretch slightly over time, but if significantly tight, consider a larger size or professional stretching.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a matching color shoe polish to buff out minor scuffs and scratches. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
