FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather upper provides some natural protection, it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray to improve water resistance.

Can I use these for sports?

No, these are designed as formal school shoes. They lack the arch support and traction needed for active sports and physical education.

How do I clean the leather?

Use a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and debris, followed by a black leather polish to restore the shine.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you are unsure, we recommend measuring the foot with a standard Brannock device.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the lightweight soles are designed to be school-friendly and are generally non-marking on indoor floors.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are stiff upon initial wear

Leather will soften over the first few days of wear; wearing them for shorter periods initially can help the break-in process.

Laces coming untied frequently

Use a double knot to secure the laces, or consider replacing them with elasticated school laces if required for convenience.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated brogue aesthetic suitable for formal school dress codes
  • Lightweight construction reduces bulk for all-day comfort
  • Durable leather upper provides excellent longevity
  • Flexible sole supports healthy foot development and movement

Cons

  • Leather requires regular polishing to maintain the black finish
  • Lace-up design may take longer to put on than velcro alternatives
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select the appropriate UK child size as indicated on the shoe. To keep the leather in top condition, wipe away dirt after use with a soft cloth and apply a quality black shoe polish regularly to prevent scuffing and leather drying. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to allow the interior lining to air out.
