FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are manufactured to standard UK adult sizing. If you are between sizes, consider the specific fit of leather derby styles.
Can I wear these for long periods?
Once broken in, they are comfortable for daily office wear. Use cushioned insoles if you require extra support.
What is the best way to clean these shoes?
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and apply leather-specific polish regularly to maintain the finish.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While they are leather, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray to protect the leather from minor moisture.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if the factory insoles are removable, you can replace them with your preferred orthopedic or comfort insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during first use
Leather naturally stretches; wear them for short durations indoors to gradually break them in.
Leather appears dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish using a soft cloth to restore shine and hydration.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with waxed cotton laces for better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Keetley Derby shoes last, perform an initial check for fit upon arrival. Since these are leather shoes, consider using a shoe horn to prevent damage to the heel counter when putting them on. Compatibility is high with professional or business-casual outfits; however, avoid heavy exposure to water or mud to preserve the leather quality. Care should include regular polishing with high-quality leather cream and storage in a cool, dry place using shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe cap.
