FAQs
Are the insoles truly removable?
Yes, the insoles are designed to be removable, allowing you to replace them with your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for added support or comfort.
What type of leather is used for the uppers?
The uppers are made from premium leather, ensuring durability and a sophisticated finish. Some styles may also feature patent leather accents.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Dorset shoes are offered in standard UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to refer to a sizing chart or try them on if possible, considering that leather will stretch slightly with wear.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with waterproof sprays, they are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 2.5cm, providing a slight elevation without compromising comfort or stability.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of polyurethane, which is known for its flexibility and lightweight properties.
How should I clean the patent leather parts?
For patent leather, use a soft, damp cloth. If needed, a specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or slightly uncomfortable initially
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your feet over time. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. Ensure you have removed the original insoles if you intend to replace them with thinner ones.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or on the tongue area.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a leather cleaner or a magic eraser very gently on the affected area. For deeper scuffs, a matching color leather polish may help restore the appearance.
Sole feels stiff
The polyurethane sole is designed to be flexible but may require some initial wear to become fully pliable. Gentle flexing by hand can help speed up this process.
