FAQs
What type of leather are these shoes made from?
The shoes are made from high-quality leather uppers designed to develop character with wear.
How do I ensure the best fit with the open lacing system?
The open lacing allows for personalized adjustment. Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoe on, then tighten them evenly from the bottom up, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit across the vamp.
Can these shoes be worn in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to prevent damage.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. A general guideline is every 3-6 months, or whenever the leather appears dry or starts to lose its suppleness.
What is the benefit of the uppers developing character with wear?
This feature means the leather will naturally age and develop a unique patina over time, making each pair of shoes distinct and adding to their aesthetic appeal as they are worn.
Are these shoes suitable for formal business events?
The minimalist design and beige color make them best suited for smart-casual or semi-formal occasions rather than highly formal business events, where darker, more traditional dress shoes might be preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff upon first wear
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Laces are difficult to adjust for a secure fit
Ensure you are lacing them correctly through the open lacing system. Try different lacing techniques or adjust the tension gradually until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, then buff gently to restore shine and moisture.
Water spots or stains on leather
Address stains immediately. For minor water spots, allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from direct heat. For more significant stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
