FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather is durable and resistant to wear, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray to increase water resistance.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, many users find it helpful to try on in-store or consult the sizing guide.
Are the soles slip-resistant?
The chunky rubber soles are oil and abrasion-resistant, providing good traction for most standard indoor and urban walking environments.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes feature a standard construction where the internal footbed is part of the design, but thin aftermarket inserts can generally be added for extra comfort.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth. Apply a dedicated leather polish or cream to maintain the shine and suppleness.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel stiff during the first few wears.
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them for short intervals at home with thick socks to help stretch and soften the material.
Heel slippage while walking.
Ensure the laces are tightened properly from the bottom up. If the issue persists, consider adding a thin leather heel grip insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are made from genuine leather, the fit will adapt to your foot over time. To ensure the longest lifespan for your 1461 Mhl shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after exposure to dirt. Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking or drying out. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape and integrity of the leather. For laces, replace them when they show signs of fraying to ensure the secure fit remains consistent.
