FAQs

What material are these shoes made from?

The 'Where's That From Nick Oxford Lace Up Work Dress Shoes' feature a polished faux leather upper.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the sole offers slip resistance, the faux leather upper is not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to protect the material and maintain its appearance.

How should I clean these shoes?

Wipe them regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping clean and air drying. Specialized faux leather conditioners can help maintain the material's suppleness.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, these shoes are designed with a cushioned insole to provide comfort for extended periods, making them suitable for all-day wear in an office or formal setting.

Can I resole these shoes?

Given the construction and faux leather material, these shoes are generally not designed to be resoled. The durable slip-resistant sole is integrated for the shoe's lifespan.

Do these shoes run true to size?

These shoes are designed to fit standard UK adult foot sizes. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size or consulting a size guide for more detailed measurements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Faux leather can sometimes be stiff at first. Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to break them in. Using thicker socks during this phase can also help stretch the material slightly for a more comfortable fit.

Minor scuffs or marks appear on the faux leather.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping clean and drying. Consider a specialized faux leather polish or protector to buff out light scuffs and maintain the finish.

Shoes make a squeaking sound while walking.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the sole or the insole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, under the insole, to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the sole, ensure it is clean and dry.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying a proper knot. For extra security, a double knot can be used. Laces may need to be replaced if they are old or worn, as smoother laces tend to slip more easily.

Setup

Upon receiving your 'Where's That From Nick Oxford Lace Up Work Dress Shoes', the only 'setup' required is lacing them up to your comfort. The five-eyelet design allows for classic lacing techniques. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement throughout the day.

  1. Thread the laces: Begin by threading the lace straight across, under the bottom two eyelets.
  2. Criss-cross: Bring each lace up through the next eyelet on the opposite side, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  3. Adjust tension: Work your way up, pulling the laces firmly to ensure an even tension across your foot. This provides support and a comfortable fit.
  4. Tie a knot: Finish with a bow or a double knot at the top.

Compatibility

These black Oxford shoes are highly versatile and compatible with a wide array of wardrobe choices:

  • Apparel: Best paired with tailored suits, dress trousers, chinos, and even dark-wash denim for smart-casual looks. Avoid pairing with overly casual shorts or athletic wear.
  • Occasions: Suitable for business meetings, corporate events, weddings, formal dinners, interviews, and any smart or semi-formal social gathering.
  • Accessories: Complement them with a matching black belt and dark-colored socks to maintain a cohesive and polished appearance.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your faux leather Oxford shoes.

  1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth, and then air dry.
  2. Polishing/Conditioning: While faux leather does not absorb traditional leather polish, you can use specialized faux leather conditioners or protectors to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can damage the faux leather. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  4. Avoid Water Immersion: While the sole is slip-resistant, the faux leather upper is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  5. Scuff Management: Minor scuffs can often be minimized by gently rubbing with a soft cloth or a small amount of faux leather conditioner.
