FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for standing all day?
Yes, the cushioned insole and stable block heel are designed to provide comfort for extended periods of wear, making them suitable for many professional environments.
What is the heel height?
The product description mentions a 'refined block heel' but does not specify an exact measurement. It is designed for comfortable, elegant wear.
How do I clean the leather?
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For best results and to maintain the leather's condition, use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather is of high quality, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
This certification indicates that the leather was produced by tanneries audited and rated for their environmental impact, ensuring more responsible leather sourcing.

What is the return policy if the size doesn't fit?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please refer to the specific terms and conditions of the seller from whom you purchased the shoes for their return and exchange guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight on first wear
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Using a shoe stretcher or thicker socks can also help gently expand the fit.
Leather shows scuffs or scratches
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching black shoe polish or cream and apply sparingly with a soft cloth, then buff to a shine.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
While the insole is designed for lasting comfort, its cushioning may reduce with prolonged, heavy use. Consider adding a thin, supportive insole designed for dress shoes if additional cushioning is desired.
