FAQs
What type of leather is used in the DORAH model?
The DORAH model is crafted from high-quality leather, chosen for its durability and premium feel.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While designed for everyday wear and comfort, they are best suited for moderate walking. For extensive long-distance walking, consider footwear specifically designed for such activities.
How should I break in new leather shoes?
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them for extended outings until they feel comfortable.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
Genuine leather can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. While they offer some protection, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a water-repellent spray can help.
What is the typical lifespan of these leather shoes?
With proper care and regular maintenance, high-quality leather shoes like the DORAH can last for several years, depending on the frequency of wear and the conditions they are exposed to.
How do I clean the inside of the shoes?
For the interior, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away any surface dirt. For stubborn odors, you can use a specialized shoe deodorizer or place baking soda inside overnight.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs easily.
For minor scuffs, try using a matching shoe polish or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Shoes feel tight after a few wears.
Leather naturally stretches. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking professional advice.
Sole feels slippery.
New soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface or applying anti-slip sole grips can improve traction.
Discoloration from water exposure.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and color. Promptly wiping off water can help prevent staining.
