FAQs

Is the 1461 Quad II true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for sock thickness.

How high is the platform sole?

The Quad platform sole measures 1.85 inches in height.

What is Pisa leather?

Pisa is a medium-weight, milled Nappa leather that is soft, tumbled, and features a rich waxy finish.

Can I resole these shoes?

Yes, thanks to the Goodyear-welted construction, these can be resoled by a qualified cobbler.

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

While durable, the Quad sole is heavier than standard soles. It is best to break them in thoroughly before attempting long walks.

How do I maintain the purple color?

Use a clear or neutral leather conditioner or balsam to keep the pigment protected and the surface hydrated.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness during the first few wears

Wear thick socks and limit initial use to short periods to allow the Pisa leather to mold to your foot shape.

Laces slipping

Ensure the gunmetal eyelets are free of debris and use a double knot until the laces have been broken in through regular use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft Pisa leather requires less break-in than traditional stiff leathers
  • Bold, 1.85-inch platform adds significant height and style
  • High-quality construction with durable heat-sealed Goodyear welting
  • Distinctive purple colorway offers a unique alternative to standard black

Cons

  • The heavy Quad sole adds noticeable weight compared to standard 1461 models
  • Platform height may require adjustment for those used to flat soles
  • Leather requires periodic care to maintain the rich waxy finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are made from premium Pisa leather, the fit is generally true to size. To ensure longevity, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. Periodically applying a high-quality leather balsam or wax will keep the pigmented finish hydrated and prevent the leather from cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Since these use a Goodyear welt, they are technically resoleable by a professional cobbler if the Quad sole eventually wears down over years of heavy use. Ensure you use the included tonal laces and tie them snugly to properly seat your heel in the counter during the first few wears.
