Yes, they are designed to standard UK adult sizing. If you typically wear a size 10, the size 10 Portico should provide a consistent fit.
While the Ortholite insoles are designed for optimal comfort, they are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
While they feature a durable construction, they are made of premium leather and should be treated with a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning, followed by a dry cloth, and finish with a leather conditioner.
The Portico is a classic Oxford design, making it highly appropriate for business and formal events, though traditionally, black patent leather is preferred for strictly formal black-tie dress codes.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to help the leather gradually mold to your foot shape.
Use a matching brown shoe polish or cream and buff with a soft cloth to restore the finish.
Ensure you are using a double knot or replacing them with higher-friction cotton laces if necessary.
To ensure the longevity of your Portico shoes, begin by using a shoehorn when putting them on to protect the heel counter. These shoes are compatible with most formal and business-casual wardrobes. For care, wipe down the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and use a matching cream polish to touch up scuffs or maintain the rich brown tone.
