FAQs
What is the primary material of these shoes?
The shoes are primarily made from premium vintage suede.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. A suede protector spray is recommended for water resistance.
How do I clean the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before storing.
What does 'handsewn' mean in this context?
Handsewn refers to the traditional method of stitching used to construct the shoe, which is known for its durability and craftsmanship.
Can I wear these shoes for formal occasions?
These are designed as casual or smart-casual footwear and are best suited for relaxed settings, not formal events.
What does 'Leather Working Group' mean?
Purchasing this product supports responsible manufacturing of leather through the Leather Working Group, an organization focused on sustainable and environmentally conscious leather production.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to help maintain their shape and protect the suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to soak the material.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider wearing them with thin socks. The leather lining and padded collar will conform to your foot over time.
Laces are frayed or worn.
Replace rawhide laces with new ones of a similar material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight.
