FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you have wider feet, you might consider sizing up due to the narrow, low-profile design.
Can I wear these for running?
These are designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-intensity athletic activities or running.
How do I protect the suede/leather finish?
You can use a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against minor spills.
Is the material genuine leather?
Yes, the product features a high-quality leather upper.
Does the gold foil logo wear off?
The branding is high-quality, but like all external print, it may experience minor fading over a long period with heavy contact; gentle cleaning helps preserve it.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While leather is more water-resistant than canvas, these shoes are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain to prevent water staining.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Outsole losing traction due to debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear dirt from the herringbone tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes maintain their aesthetic appeal, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove surface dust.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or color fading.
