FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Portland Artisan OX features a 'Regular Fit (R)', which is a classic fit designed to adapt naturally to the foot shape. They are not specifically designed for wide feet, but many find the regular fit comfortable.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the unlined construction is designed to be breathable and comfortable for wear with or without socks, especially in warm weather.
What is the main advantage of the unlined construction?
The unlined construction makes the shoes lighter and promotes better breathability, providing a fresher feel during wear, particularly in warm conditions.
What kind of outsole do these shoes have?
They feature a 100% rubber outsole that is designed to be non-slip, offering good grip on all surfaces.
What is the 'docksides' silhouette?
The 'docksides' silhouette refers to a classic moccasin-style loafer, often associated with boating and casual, nautical-inspired fashion.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.
Shoes feel too tight
Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wear them with thin socks initially. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size; consider a professional stretching service as a last resort.
Soles lose grip
Ensure the rubber soles are clean of mud or debris. If wear is significant, consult a cobbler for sole replacement options.
Water damage to suede
Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Apply a suede protector for future prevention.
