Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for standing all day?

Yes, the cushioned insole and stable block heel are designed to provide comfort for extended wear.

What does LWG-certified mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification means the leather has been produced in a tannery that adheres to strict environmental protocols, ensuring responsible manufacturing.

How do I choose the right size, especially with half sizes?

It is recommended to try them on if possible. If ordering online, consider your usual fit. If you are typically between sizes, the half-size option may provide a more precise fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend treating the shoes with a leather waterproofing spray for protection against light rain. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.

What is the heel height?

The product description mentions a 'refined block heel' but does not specify an exact height. However, block heels are generally designed for comfort and stability, suggesting a moderate height.

How should I clean the leather exterior?

Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt or to maintain the leather's condition, use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner as per product instructions.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Typically, quality leather shoes like these can be resoled by a professional cobbler, extending their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially.

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider the half-size option if available or consult with a shoe professional.

Scuff marks on the leather.

Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather repair crayon or polish that matches the shoe's color. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Slipping sensation on smooth surfaces.

Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider having a rubber sole protector or grip pads added by a cobbler.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth and buff gently.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  4. Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially in wet weather.
