FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Dries Van Noten Skor series generally adheres to standard UK sizing for adult men.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, because they are constructed with high-quality leather, they can be professionally resoled by a skilled cobbler to extend their lifespan.
What is the best way to clean the interior?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the inside, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they are designed for comfort, they are intended for urban wear and professional environments rather than heavy-duty walking or hiking.
Does the leather require waterproofing spray?
It is not strictly necessary, but a light application of a leather-safe water repellent can help protect the finish against incidental moisture.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Apply a small amount of matching black leather polish or cream, buffing gently with a soft cloth to restore the shine.
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
High-quality leather will naturally stretch to the shape of your foot. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in before extended use.
Leather sole is slippery
The soles will gain traction as they wear in. If desired, a cobbler can apply a thin rubber topy to the sole for increased grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dries Van Noten shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Care: Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner immediately if the leather appears dry to maintain suppleness.
- Storage: Always store the shoes using the provided dust bag when not in use. Consider using cedar shoe trees to maintain their shape and manage moisture absorption.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and debris. If significant cleaning is required, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly on the shoe.
- Sole Maintenance: Since the sole is leather, be aware that it may require professional heel or sole tapping if you plan to wear them frequently on abrasive urban surfaces.
