Dune London Solomon Derby Shoes - Brown - Size UK 10

The Dune London Solomon Derby Shoes generally run true to standard UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, it is often advisable to try the larger half-size for optimal comfort, especially with leather shoes that will mold to your foot over time.

Yes, once properly broken in, the Solomon Derby Shoes are designed for comfortable all-day wear. The genuine leather will conform to the shape of your foot, providing a personalized and supportive fit. Regular use of shoe trees can also help maintain comfort by preserving the shoe's shape.

While the leather is durable, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or snow. Exposure to excessive moisture can damage the leather and affect its finish. It's best to wear them in dry conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat and then recondition them.

The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For regular wear, we recommend wiping them down after each use. Condition them every 2-3 months, and polish every 2-4 weeks to maintain their shine, protect the leather, and cover any minor scuffs.

Store your Solomon Derby Shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always use cedar shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. If provided, use the dust bags to protect them from dust and scratches, or wrap them in a breathable cloth.

While replacement laces are not typically sold with the shoes, standard flat waxed cotton laces of an appropriate length (usually 75-80 cm for Derby shoes) can be purchased from shoe care retailers or online to match the original style.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. Consider wearing thicker socks or using a shoe stretcher to help expedite the break-in process. The leather will soften and mold to your foot over time.

The leather needs conditioning and polishing. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture. Follow with a matching shoe polish to restore shine and provide a protective layer. Regular care prevents these issues.

For light scuffs, a matching shoe polish can often buff them out. Apply a small amount of polish and rub gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair cream or professional shoe repair may be required.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Occasionally, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to neutralize smells.

A squeak can sometimes come from the sole rubbing against the upper or a part of the sole itself. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole or in any crevice where friction occurs. If it persists, a cobbler can usually identify and fix the issue.
