FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Londyn range generally adheres to standard UK sizing, but we recommend measuring your feet to ensure the best fit before purchasing.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While comfortable, they are intended for daily casual use rather than long-distance walking; they lack the shock absorption found in athletic sneakers.
Are the insoles removable?
No, the insoles are integrated into the construction of the shoe for a seamless interior fit.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
A damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient to wipe away debris from the rubber tread.
Can these be worn in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy downpours to prevent potential water staining or material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Leather will naturally soften and mold to the foot over time; wear them for short durations indoors initially to break them in.
Surface scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a leather-matching cream polish or a specialized leather cleaner to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As slip-on footwear, these shoes require no complex setup; simply ensure the correct UK sizing for a snug but comfortable fit. To maintain the life of your leather, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust after each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions, as direct moisture can damage the leather finish. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or tissue paper inserts to help the shoe retain its tapered toe shape when not in use. Periodically applying a high-quality leather conditioner will help prevent cracking and keep the material supple.
