FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather upper offers some natural protection, they are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or submergence.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals and use leather-specific products for conditioning.
Can I replace the rawhide laces?
Yes, the laces are replaceable. You can swap them for standard laces if you prefer, provided they fit the eyelets.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
They are designed for casual, everyday wear rather than long-distance walking or hiking. For heavy walking, ensure you have proper arch support.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is crafted from high-quality leather, complemented by a signature rubber waffle outsole.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to restore hydration and shine.
Surface dirt accumulation
Gently wipe the exterior with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and allow to air dry naturally.
Slippage at the heel
Ensure the 2-eyelet lacing system is pulled snug to provide better lockdown across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a leather exterior, care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt after use. If the leather becomes scuffed or dry, apply a leather conditioner or cream to restore its appearance. When fitting, the 2-eyelet system allows for a snug fit; ensure the laces are adjusted comfortably to prevent slipping at the heel. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or cracking.
