Yes, the Portico series is manufactured to standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to purchase your normal dress shoe size.
While the Ortholite insoles are designed for durability, they are generally removable if you require specialized orthotics.
Use a damp cloth for light cleaning and a specialized leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
As they are premium leather, it is best to avoid excessive water exposure. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources.
You do not need to polish them immediately, but applying a neutral or matching wax polish once a month will protect the leather from environmental elements.
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and conform to your foot shape.
Apply a small amount of matching leather polish or cream to a soft cloth and buff the affected area in circular motions.
Ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets and consider a double-knot if the waxed laces feel slippery.
To ensure your Portico Oxfords provide the best performance, it is recommended to use a shoehorn when putting them on to protect the heel counter. These shoes are true to size; ensure you are utilizing the correct UK sizing when selecting your pair. For care, wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become marked, use a high-quality leather cream or polish matched to the brown or black finish. Store them in a cool, dry place using cedar shoe trees to help maintain the shape and absorb moisture from the lining after a full day of wear.
