FAQs

What is the primary material of these shoes?

The upper and lining of these shoes are made from 100% premium leather. The sole is made of 100% rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, they are designed for all-day comfort thanks to the integrated Ortholite cushioning technology and a low heel.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

This guide specifies UK size 7. Please refer to standard UK men's sizing charts if you are unsure about your size.

What is the weight of these shoes?

The shoes have a substantial weight of 1325g, indicating robust construction and durability.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The rubber sole provides some protection, but the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to care for the leather after any exposure to moisture.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or appear dry.

What type of insole do these shoes have?

These shoes feature an Ortholite insole, known for its cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to mold to your foot's shape.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a leather conditioner and polish specifically designed for leather footwear. Ensure the shoes are clean before applying products.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

While the rubber sole offers grip, extremely smooth or wet surfaces can be challenging. Ensure soles are clean and consider walking cautiously on such surfaces.

Laces fray or break.

Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online.
