FAQs

What makes these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

The Howard Walk Derby Shoes feature Cushion Plus™ technology for shock absorption, a breathable sock, and padded edges around the ankle, all designed to provide lasting comfort from morning to evening.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Yes, this specific model of the Howard Walk Derby Shoes is designed with a wide fit, offering more room and comfort for wider feet, as mentioned in the product description.

How do I properly care for the leather upper?

To care for the rich leather, regularly clean it with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Apply a quality leather conditioner and polish as needed to keep it supple, protected, and to maintain its shine.

What kind of occasions are these shoes best suited for?

These are quintessential formal lace-up shoes, ideal for business meetings, office wear, formal events, and smart casual settings where a polished and professional look is desired.

Do these shoes have any environmentally friendly features?

Yes, the lightweight sole, footbed, laces, and sock utilize recycled rubber and bio-based materials to help minimize their environmental footprint.

Will these shoes provide good grip?

Yes, the shoes are equipped with a grippy TPR (thermoplastic rubber) outsole designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose despite being the correct size

Ensure you have the correct UK size 9. The hidden elastic and adjustable laces allow for a customized fit; try re-lacing or adjusting the tension. If still uncomfortable, allow a short break-in period for the leather to conform to your foot.

Leather appears dry, dull, or has minor scuffs

Regularly clean and condition the leather with appropriate products to restore its luster and prevent drying. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a quality black shoe polish and a soft cloth.

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe body. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the footbed. If it persists, ensure there's no debris trapped in the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Howard Walk Derby Shoes is straightforward. Simply loosen the laces, slip your foot in, and then tighten the laces to your desired comfort level. The hidden elastic will help the shoe adapt to your foot's shape, providing a snug yet flexible fit. Take a few steps to ensure the fit is comfortable and secure.

Their timeless black leather finish makes them a versatile staple for any formal wardrobe, suitable for office environments, formal events, and smart dinners.

Care

To ensure the longevity and maintain the rich appearance of your leather shoes, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few weeks or as needed, especially if the leather appears dry. This will keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and restore its luster.
  3. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish to cover minor scuffs and enhance the shine. Buff with a soft brush or cloth.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
  6. Outsole: The TPR outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth as needed.
