Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Craftwell Lace shoes require no special setup. Simply unbox them and slip them on. The elasticized lace closure makes them very easy to wear immediately.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for a wide fit, offering more room across the foot. If you typically wear a standard fit, you might find these a bit roomy. They are compatible with a range of smart-casual and casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, and tailored shorts. Their black colour and modern design make them a versatile addition to most wardrobes.
Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Craftwell Lace shoes:
- Cleaning the Uppers: For the combination leather uppers, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a high-quality leather cleaner or polish specifically designed for black leather. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Maintaining the Sole: Wipe down the lightweight EVA unit and rubber inserts with a damp cloth to keep them clean. Remove any lodged debris from the rubber inserts to maintain traction.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Elasticized Laces: Avoid excessive pulling or stretching of the laces to maintain their elasticity over time.
