FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable crossover laces offer some flexibility for fit. However, the shoe is designed for a standard width. If you have significantly wide feet, they might feel snug even with the laces adjusted.
How should I clean the Oleatex material?
Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp, soft cloth. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the crinkle texture.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather sole offers some protection, the Oleatex upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material and finish.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
These are flat-soled shoes, designed primarily for comfort and style. They do not provide significant built-in arch support. If you require additional support, consider using specialized insoles.
How do I adjust the crossover laces?
Simply untie the knot, slide the laces to loosen or tighten the fit across the top of your foot, and then re-tie securely. Adjust them on the first wear for optimal comfort.
What is Oleatex?
Oleatex is a synthetic material used for the shoe's upper, offering a unique crinkle texture and a leather-like appearance. It's chosen for its distinctive aesthetic and wearability.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% Calf leather, providing a durable and classic foundation for the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the crossover wax laces. Loosen them for more room or tighten for a snugger fit. Ensure the knot is secure.
Oleatex finish appears dull or marked
Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using any solvents or abrasive materials. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in delicate finishes.
Laces become difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are not excessively frayed. If they are, consider replacing them. Gently slide the laces through the eyelets to adjust tension.
Leather sole feels stiff
This is normal, especially when new. The leather will soften with wear. Avoid exposing the leather sole to prolonged wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Initial Fit Adjustment: Upon first wear, loosen and adjust the crossover wax laces to achieve a custom fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably.
- Break-in Period: Like most leather footwear, these shoes may benefit from a short break-in period to conform to your foot.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: These shoes generally run true to size. Refer to size guides for specific UK sizing.
- Foot Type: Suitable for average width feet. Those with wider feet may find the adjustable laces helpful, but they might still feel snug.
Care:
- Upper Material: The upper is made of 64% Polyurethane, 23% Polyester, and 13% Cotton. Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the Oleatex finish.
- Sole Material: The sole is 100% Calf leather. Protect from excessive moisture. If the sole becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag, to maintain their shape and protect the material.
