FAQs
What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For a smart-casual look, opt for no-show socks or thin dress socks that complement the shoe's colour or your trousers.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to preserve the material.
How often should I clean my suede shoes?
Regularly brush your shoes after wear to remove surface dust. A more thorough cleaning with a suede cleaner should be done as needed, typically when visible stains appear or the material looks dull.
Will the beige colour fade?
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colour to fade. Store the shoes away from direct light to maintain their original colour.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
These shoes are designed for comfort in smart-casual settings and shorter periods of walking. For extensive walking, consider shoes specifically designed for that purpose.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Water marks on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, gently brush with a suede brush. Consider applying a suede protector to prevent future marks.
Shoes feel tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with appropriate socks for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if insoles are needed.
