Product Information

Full details

These Base London Dome Derby shoes in black, size 12, are designed for adult males seeking sophisticated footwear for formal and smart-casual occasions. The key benefit is the combination of premium leather craftsmanship with integrated all-day comfort technology, ensuring both style and wearability. A potential caveat to consider is their substantial weight of 1325g, which, while indicative of quality, may be a factor for those preferring lighter footwear. The shoes feature a classic lace-up closure, almond toe, and a durable rubber sole.

FAQs

What material is the inside of the shoe made from?

The lining of the shoe is made from 100% leather.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is dried thoroughly afterwards.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoes feature a classic Derby cut with an almond toe shape. While they offer all-day comfort, individuals with particularly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

What is the purpose of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole is designed to provide enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties for all-day comfort.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

It is recommended to store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to protect them with a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the weight of the shoes?

These shoes have a substantial weight of 1325g, indicative of their premium leather construction and durable sole.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure regular conditioning.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

While the rubber sole provides grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can be challenging. Consider a gentle scuffing of the sole or use of an anti-slip spray if this is a frequent concern.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new, appropriate length dress laces. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The Ortholite insole provides comfort, but breaking in period may be necessary for new shoes. Consider adding aftermarket insoles for customized support.
