FAQs

Are these shoes appropriate for all-day wear?

Yes, they are designed with lightweight, flexible materials specifically for long school days.

Does the shoe provide good grip?

The Porto Tap features a sole designed for school environments, providing reliable traction for indoor and paved surfaces.

How do I maintain the leather?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and apply a quality black polish to keep the leather hydrated and scuff-free.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Please clean by hand only.

Is the Microban lining permanent?

The Microban odor control is integrated into the lining to help keep feet fresh for the life of the shoe.

What if the shoes get wet in the rain?

Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them on or near direct heat sources.

Troubleshooting

Buckle strap feels too loose

Adjust the buckle to the next hole to tighten the fit across the instep.

Leather surface shows scuff marks

Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the finish.

Shoes develop odor over time

Ensure they are aired out completely after school hours; the Microban lining performs best when the shoe is allowed to dry out between wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your Porto Tap shoes, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the buckle is adjusted so the strap sits snugly across the instep without causing pressure.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  3. Polishing: Use a high-quality black shoe polish occasionally to restore shine and protect the leather from scuffs.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
