FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the PIPER series generally fits according to standard UK adult sizing, though leather may stretch slightly over time.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Excessive water can damage the leather and may cause the red dye to transfer or fade.
How do I maintain the red colour?
Keep the shoes clean and regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner or a specific red leather cream to protect the pigment.
Is the material genuine leather?
Yes, the Vagabond PIPER series is crafted from genuine leather materials.
What is the best way to clean the sole?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the edges of the sole. Avoid soaking the sole as this can affect the adhesive bonds.
Can I wear these for long periods of walking?
While comfortable for casual daily wear, these are primarily fashion-forward items and may not offer the same support as specialized athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your feet.
Minor surface scuffs appearing
Use a matching red leather cream or polish to buff out minor blemishes and restore the vibrant finish.
Material getting damp
Stuff the shoes with absorbent paper towels and allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vagabond PIPER shoes last, follow these care instructions. Initial Setup: When first worn, consider using a leather protector spray to guard against moisture and dirt. Cleaning: Wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly on the shoe. Conditioning: Use a neutral or red-tinted leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to maintain the shape of the footwear when not in use.
