FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
No-show socks or thin dress socks are typically recommended to maintain the sleek look of the shoe, especially in warmer weather.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Base London Collins are made from leather and are not designed to be waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Can I wear these for driving?
Yes, the design is inspired by driving shoes, featuring a low profile and comfortable sole that makes them suitable for driving.
How do I clean the Ortholite insole?
The insole is generally not removable. Light cleaning can be done with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the insole.
What is the return policy if they don't fit?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy. Typically, unworn shoes can be returned within a specified timeframe for a refund or exchange.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for a few hours each day until they naturally conform to the shape of your foot. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they are comfortable.
Leather appears dry.
Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions. This will help restore moisture and suppleness to the leather.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For initial use on very smooth surfaces, a light scuffing of the sole might improve grip.
