FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While durable and comfortable for extended periods, the Hugo Formal Shoes are primarily designed for formal and smart-casual occasions. For true everyday wear, especially in less formal settings, consider shoes specifically designed for casual or active use.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Hugo Formal Shoes feature removable insoles, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or preferred comfort insoles for personalized support.
How do I determine my correct size?
The shoes are a standard UK 7. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the brand's size chart if available. If unsure, trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen can help ensure a comfortable fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The smooth leather uppers offer some natural resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. For protection in wet conditions, it's recommended to apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
For optimal care, wipe them clean after each wear. Condition the leather every few weeks to a month, depending on how often they are worn and the climate, to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
What is the heel height?
The heel height of the Hugo Formal Shoes is 33mm, or approximately 1 1/2 inches.
Are they heavy?
No, these shoes feature a lightweight and flexible EVA sole, specifically designed to reduce foot fatigue and provide comfortable wear without excessive weight.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If it's the right size, try wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in. The removable insoles allow you to swap them for thinner ones if extra space is needed, or custom orthotics for better support.
Leather looks dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable black shoe polish. Buff with a soft brush or cloth to restore shine. Regular conditioning can also prevent dullness and keep the leather supple.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made from breathable materials. The removable insoles can be aired out regularly. If issues persist, consider trying different insoles designed for moisture wicking.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While the EVA sole offers good traction, new soles can sometimes be very smooth. Walk on abrasive surfaces like concrete or rough pavement for a short period to scuff the soles slightly. Always ensure the soles are clean and free of debris before walking on smooth floors.
