FAQs
What is the primary material of the Kleman Major VP Oak 2?
The shoes are constructed from 85% suede split cowhide and 15% cowhide leather.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Major VP Oak 2 features a removable footbed, allowing for the insertion of custom insoles.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used, followed by natural drying and brushing.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The shoes have a heel height of 3cm.
What inspired the design of this shoe?
The design is based on traditional Tyrolean shoes, which were historically produced for French rail workers, and features a rubber sole derived from mountaineering boot technology.
Is this shoe suitable for wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. It is recommended to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What does 'VP Oak 2' signify in the product name?
'VP' likely refers to the specific type of leather or finish, while 'Oak 2' may denote a particular model iteration or colorway within the Major series.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dry or worn
Apply a suede conditioner or protector spray specifically designed for leather and suede to restore moisture and appearance.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. For persistent marks, consult a professional leather cleaner.
Footbed feels uncomfortable
Remove the original footbed and replace it with your preferred orthopedic or cushioned insole for a customized fit.
Slippery outsole on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean. The grip is designed for varied terrain; on extremely polished surfaces, care should still be exercised.
