FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

While they feature comfortable Ortholite insoles, they are formal dress shoes and not designed for long-distance walking or hiking.

How do I clean the leather?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt, followed by a leather-specific cleaner if necessary, and finish with a suitable polish.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, the Portico series is designed to fit according to standard UK sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

The Ortholite insoles are designed for comfort; if they need replacement, ensure you use a slim, compatible aftermarket insole to maintain the fit.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While leather provides some natural protection, these are not waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector spray if exposed to light moisture.

What is the best way to store the shoes?

Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using wooden shoe trees to maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface appearing dry or scuffed

Apply a matching leather cream or wax polish to restore moisture and buff out surface scuffs.

Shoes feel too tight initially

Wear them for short periods around the house with thicker socks to allow the natural leather to gradually soften and stretch.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded properly and double-knot them if necessary for a more secure hold.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather construction
  • Ortholite insoles provide excellent long-term comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for both formal and smart-casual settings
  • Secure lace-up fit
  • Durable build quality for daily use

Cons

  • Requires regular leather conditioning
  • Not suitable for athletic or outdoor activities
  • Leather may require a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Portico shoes maintain their appearance, apply a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the material hydrated and free from cracks. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, though users with wider feet may find the slim profile requires a brief period of wear to stretch the leather to their unique shape. When not in use, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place and utilize shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture accumulated during the day.
