Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the integrated Ortholite insole is designed specifically for comfort, making them a great choice for long hours.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust, followed by a quality leather cream to maintain the suppleness of the material.

Can I replace the insoles?

The Portico features high-quality Ortholite insoles; while they are designed for durability, they can be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Use wooden shoe trees to help the leather keep its shape and absorb internal moisture when you are not wearing them.

Are these true to size?

The Portico generally fits according to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape may influence your preferred fit.

Troubleshooting

Stiff fit during first few wears

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.

Scuffs on the leather surface

Apply a small amount of leather polish matching the shoe color to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and consider a double knot if the wax coating on the laces makes them prone to slipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather material for a premium look
  • Ortholite technology ensures all-day underfoot comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for formal and business-casual attire
  • Adjustable lace-up closure for a secure fit

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period common with leather dress shoes
  • Limited to low-cut Oxford styling
  • Leather requires regular maintenance to retain its luster

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Portico shoes maintain their appearance and lifespan, keep them stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth and use a matching high-quality leather cream or polish to nourish the hide and hide scuffs. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Consider using cedar shoe trees when not in use to preserve the shape and absorb lingering moisture.
