FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
While the derby silhouette has classic roots, the chunky sole and 'used-effect' lean towards a more casual or streetwear aesthetic. They are best suited for smart-casual or everyday wear rather than highly formal occasions.
How do I clean the treaded outsole?
The TPU/rubber outsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dried thoroughly afterward.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can replace the laces. Ensure you choose a compatible length and style to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
What is the arch height?
The shoes have an arch height of 15 mm.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in the provided pouch or box, filling them with tissue paper to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
What does 'used-effect outsole' mean?
This refers to a deliberate design choice where the outsole is made to look slightly worn or aged, contributing to the shoe's distinct aesthetic.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from smooth calfskin (bullskin).
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Wipe with a soft cloth. For deeper conditioning, consult a leather care specialist. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Sole shows signs of wear
The 'used-effect' is part of the design. For excessive wear, consult a cobbler specializing in luxury footwear.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure laces are threaded correctly. Consider using a double knot or replacing laces if they are worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes come ready to wear. They include one pair of top laces that can be threaded through the eyelets. You can choose to tie them for a secure fit or tuck them in for a laceless aesthetic.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: These are true to size based on European sizing. Refer to conversion charts if needed for UK sizing (this pair is UK 2).
- Occasion: Suitable for casual to smart-casual settings.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry, natural-colored cloth. If the shoes get wet, wipe them immediately and allow them to air dry naturally.
- Avoid: Do not use chemicals or machine wash. For deep cleaning, consult a professional leather cleaning specialist.
- Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat or direct sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the shoes in their provided pouch or box. Use tissue paper to fill the shoes and help them retain their shape. This also protects the leather from scuffs.
