Yes, the Portico range follows standard UK adult sizing conventions.
While the TR sole offers good grip, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent leather spray to protect the leather upper from heavy rain.
For daily wear, a light polish every two weeks is recommended to keep the leather hydrated and protected.
The TR sole is bonded to the shoe for durability; while not traditionally resoleable like high-end welted footwear, the materials used offer significant longevity.
Ortholite insoles provide excellent shock absorption, are breathable, and feature anti-microbial properties to keep feet fresh.
The Portico features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width comfortable after a short break-in period, but they are not categorized as wide-fit shoes.
Leather will naturally soften and stretch to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out scuffs and restore the original sheen.
The Ortholite insoles are removable; they can be replaced with new inserts if necessary, though they are designed for high durability.
These shoes are designed for a standard UK size fit. To maintain their appearance, clean the leather with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality leather cream regularly to keep the material supple. It is recommended to use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel counter from collapsing. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place and use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture from the lining.
