Full details
The Kleman Major VP Oak 2 Tyrolean Shoes are designed for adults seeking durable, ethically-made everyday footwear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of sustainable European leather and practical comfort, suitable for daily wear. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit of Tyrolean-style shoes.

Originally designed for French rail workers, these shoes offer a blend of heritage and modern functionality.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Major VP Oak 2 features a traditional Tyrolean fit, which generally offers a medium width. While the removable footbed allows for some adjustment, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.
Can I replace the footbed with my own orthotics?
Yes, the footbed is designed to be removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for enhanced support and comfort.
How should I clean the different materials (suede and leather)?
For leather, use a damp cloth and leather conditioner. For suede, use a dedicated suede brush and eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
What is the heel height?
The shoes have a heel height of approximately 3cm, designed for comfortable wear throughout the day.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made from leather and suede, which are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a water-repellent spray is recommended for added protection.
What is the origin of the Tyrolean shoe style?
The Tyrolean shoe style originates from the Tyrol region of the Alps and is characterized by its moccasin construction and distinctive scalloped hem. Kleman has adapted this traditional design for modern, durable footwear.
What is the warranty period for Kleman shoes?
Information regarding the specific warranty period for Kleman shoes is best obtained directly from the retailer or manufacturer, as it can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period or exploring alternative insoles if needed.
Suede showing water spots or stains.
Allow the affected area to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede eraser to gently lift the stain. For stubborn marks, a suede brush can help restore the nap. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future stains.
Grip on the sole seems reduced.
Check the rubber sole for embedded debris such as mud or small stones. Clean thoroughly with a stiff brush. If wear is significant, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.
