FAQs
How do I clean my Tower London Apache suede shoes?
Regularly brush them with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialist suede cleaner. Always apply a suede protector spray before wearing and after cleaning to repel water and stains.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Suede is not waterproof. It is highly recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are the Tower London Apache shoes true to size?
Generally, Tower London shoes are designed to fit true to standard UK sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are between sizes, consider trying both for the best fit. > Info needed: Specific sizing recommendations if available.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
These shoes pair well with no-show socks for a more casual, contemporary look, or with thin dress socks for a smart-casual ensemble, depending on your preference and outfit.
How do I protect the crepe sole?
The crepe sole is designed to be durable for everyday wear. While no specific protection is needed, avoiding rough surfaces or sharp objects will help maintain its condition. Clean with a damp cloth if it picks up dirt.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The suede upper offers some flexibility and will conform to your foot over time. However, for genuinely wide feet, it's best to try them on to ensure adequate comfort, as the moccasin silhouette might be more tailored.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift away surface dirt. Brush in a consistent direction.
Water spots or light stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp clean cloth to gently rub the affected area. Finish with a suede brush.
Laces become worn or damaged
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar style and length (typically flat cotton laces are suitable for two-eyelet shoes). Check with Tower London for official replacements or suitable alternatives.

Care Instructions

- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser. For tougher stains, a specialist suede cleaner is recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not naturally waterproof. Try to avoid wearing your shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions.
