FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The leather construction allows for some natural stretching, but they follow a standard fit. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to try the larger size.
Can I wear these outdoors?
Yes, they are designed as low shoes suitable for outdoor wear, though they are not intended for rugged terrain or wet weather conditions.
How should I store them to maintain their shape?
Using cedar or plastic shoe trees is the best way to maintain the shape of the almond toe and the heel counter when the shoes are not being worn.
Is the sole slippery?
The outsole provides standard traction, but be cautious on highly polished or wet surfaces as with most luxury leather footwear.
What is the best way to clean the diamond-quilted insole?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the interior clean, then ensure it is completely air-dried away from direct heat sources before wearing.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after use
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather cream or polish to restore the natural luster.
Creasing appears at the toe box
This is a normal characteristic of natural leather; using shoe trees when stored will help minimize deep set-in creases.
Heel counter feels stiff
Gently massage the leather at the heel fold to soften the material, allowing for an easier transition when converting to a slipper style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no complex setup required. Regarding care, always keep the leather away from prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent damage. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust after use and a professional leather conditioner to keep the material supple. When folding the heel, ensure you are pressing gently to maintain the integrity of the counter's structure. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to help the leather retain its original shape when not in use.
