FAQs

What material is the shoe made of?

The shoe features a 100% premium leather upper and 100% leather lining, with a 100% rubber sole.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The description does not specify width options. Standard fit is implied. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check reviews for fit information.

How do I break in these leather shoes?

Wear them for short periods initially, perhaps around the house, to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also help.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to treat the shoes with a leather waterproofing spray for added protection and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to all-day comfort and reducing foot fatigue.

How heavy are these shoes?

These shoes have a substantial weight of 1325g, indicating a robust construction.

What occasions are these shoes best suited for?

They are ideal for formal occasions, business environments, and smart-casual ensembles, offering a polished and sophisticated look.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the leather softens and molds to your foot.

Laces wear out

Replace worn laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Available at most shoe repair shops or online.

Rubber sole shows signs of wear

For minor wear, ensure regular cleaning. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.

Leather scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a colored shoe polish matching the leather shade to conceal the damage.

Care Instructions:
