Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are correctly threaded through the eyelets for optimal fit.
Compatibility: The Base London Dome Derby shoes are designed for adult males. They are compatible with a wide range of legwear, including suits, dress trousers, chinos, and smart denim.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important in dry climates or after exposure to water.
- Protection: Use a waterproofing spray designed for leather to provide a barrier against moisture, particularly before wearing them in potentially wet conditions. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can prevent the leather from breathing.
