FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These court shoes feature a pointed toe, which may not be ideal for very wide feet. While available in half sizes for a better fit, if you have particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on first or consider styles with a rounder toe.
How do I clean the leather?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water excessively.
Can I wear these shoes all day?
Yes, they are designed for comfortable everyday wear, featuring a cushioned leather insole and a stable block heel.
What is the benefit of the Leather Working Group certification?
The Leather Working Group (LWG) certification ensures that the leather is sourced and produced in an environmentally responsible manner, adhering to strict standards for water use, energy consumption, and chemical management.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This specific product listing is for the black color. Please check the brand's full collection for availability in other colors.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original shoe box or a dust bag is recommended to protect them and maintain their shape.
What type of heel is on these shoes?
These shoes feature a refined block heel, which offers more stability and comfort compared to thinner heel types.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Use a leather conditioner to soften the material if needed.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product instructions. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
Scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, try a matching color leather polish or cream. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If slipping persists, consider having a cobbler add grip enhancements.
