FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for standing all day?
Yes, the Utti Lace features a supportive Deep Blue insole designed for comfort during extended wear and walking.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water exposure and allow to air dry if they become wet.
What is the fit like?
The Utti Lace has a narrow fit, inspired by traditional loafers. It features adjustable laces for a customizable fit.
Can I replace the insole?
The Deep Blue insole is an integral part of the shoe's support system. While not designed for easy removal, replacement insoles compatible with narrow-fit shoes might be usable if the original is worn out.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing durability and traction.
Are these waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. Exposure to excessive moisture can damage the material.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
These shoes can be worn with or without socks. If wearing socks, consider thin, breathable options that complement the narrow fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. If the narrowness persists, consider professional stretching or explore wider-fit shoe options.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Discomfort in the arch
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow the Deep Blue insole to provide optimal support. Break-in period may be required for the insole to fully conform to your foot.
Laces become frayed
Replace the laces with a similar round, adjustable lace. Ensure the new laces are of appropriate length for the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Utti Lace requires no specific setup; simply adjust the laces to achieve your desired fit and wear. Ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent accidental untying.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult use and are suitable for most foot types, though individuals with significantly wide feet may find the narrow fit challenging. They pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual attire, including jeans, chinos, and casual trousers.
Care:
- Uppers: Suede uppers should be brushed regularly with a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. For stains, use a suede eraser. Avoid getting the suede wet; if they do become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Lining: The interior lining can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Ensure it dries completely before wearing.
- Sole: The rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Periodically check for any embedded debris.
