FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While they are a standard width, the leather will conform to your foot over time. If you have particularly wide feet, trying them on or checking customer reviews for fit information is recommended.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution, then wipe dry. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are not waterproof boots. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments to maintain the integrity of the leather and construction.
What does 'handsewn' mean for these shoes?
Handsewn construction refers to the traditional method where the upper is sewn directly to the sole by hand. This technique is known for its durability and contributes to the shoe's crafted appearance.
What is the purpose of the 3-eye lug?
The '3-eye' refers to the number of pairs of eyelets for the laces, allowing for adjustment. The 'lug' typically refers to the tread pattern on the outsole, designed to provide better grip.
How do I care for the rawhide laces?
Rawhide laces are durable but can stiffen over time. Avoid getting them excessively wet. If they become stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner can help soften them. They can be replaced if they fray or break.
Are these shoes ethically sourced?
Yes, by purchasing this product, you are supporting responsible manufacturing of leather through the Leather Working Group, an international organization dedicated to sustainability in the leather industry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or stiff initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. You can also use thicker socks during the break-in period.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Follow the product instructions for application and allow it to absorb before wearing.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace rawhide laces with new ones of a similar type. Ensure you do not overtighten laces to prevent premature wear.
Soles show signs of wear
For minor wear, cleaning the soles may be sufficient. Significant wear on the rubber outsole might require professional resoling services, though this is less common with typical casual use.
