Yes, the Portico follows standard UK adult sizing conventions.
The Ortholite insole is designed for optimal comfort; however, if you require specialized orthotics, the factory insole can typically be removed.
Use a damp cloth for light cleaning and apply a leather-specific conditioner or polish periodically to maintain the shine.
While the TR sole offers decent traction, these are formal leather shoes and are not designed for heavy snow or extreme winter conditions.
The sole is made from TR (Thermoplastic Rubber), chosen for its durability and grip.
Yes, the Portico's versatile silhouette works well with dark denim for a sharp, smart-casual look.
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape naturally.
Ensure the laces are tightened correctly using an 'Oxford' lacing style, or consider adding a thin leather heel grip.
Since the Portico is a standard Oxford shoe, no complex setup is required. To ensure a comfortable fit, test the shoes with the socks you intend to wear daily. For maintenance, clean the leather uppers regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the material hydrated and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or dry out the leather.
