FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
For formal or business settings, opt for dark-colored dress socks made of wool, cotton, or a blend that matches or complements your trousers. For smart-casual wear, you can experiment with patterned or thinner casual socks.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in their original box or a dust bag.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing them in severe weather to prevent damage.
What is the difference between Derby and Oxford shoes?
The primary difference is the lacing system. Derby shoes have an 'open lacing' system where the shoelace eyelets are stitched on top of the vamp, while Oxford shoes have a 'closed lacing' system where the eyelets are stitched underneath.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or feel dry. Over-conditioning can also be detrimental, so observe the leather's condition.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Tayil Derby features a standard fit. If you have wide feet, consider trying them on to assess comfort or look for models specifically designed for wider fits.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Discoloration or scuff marks appear.
Use a matching color shoe polish to buff out minor scuffs. For significant discoloration, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Laces fray or break.
Replace laces with a similar type and length. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid undue stress.
