FAQs

What type of socks are best with the Base London Strand?

For a smart appearance, thinner dress socks or fine-knit socks are recommended. Ensure they complement the shoe's color or your outfit.

Can these shoes be worn in rainy weather?

While suede can be treated for water resistance, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a waterproofing spray and allow shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat if they get damp.

How often should I clean the suede?

Regular brushing after each wear helps maintain the suede's appearance. Deep cleaning or stain removal should be done as needed.

What is the main advantage of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties for superior comfort during extended wear.

Does the color 'Brown' vary between different materials (e.g., suede vs. leather)?

Different materials can present color variations. This guide pertains to the brown suede version. Other material variants may have slightly different color tones.

What does 'Derby Shoe' mean?

A Derby shoe is characterized by its open lacing system, where the shoelace eyelet tabs are stitched on top of the vamp. This design typically offers a more relaxed fit and is considered versatile for both smart and casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear the shoes with appropriate socks around the house to allow them to gently stretch. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they feel comfortable.
