Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do these shoes run true to size?

The product information suggests that these shoes may run large. If you are uncertain between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller size.

What type of leather is used for the upper?

The upper is made from cowhide leather sourced from a Spanish tannery certified by the Leather Working Group.

Are these shoes suitable for work?

Yes, their durable construction and classic, unisex style make them suitable for many work environments, particularly those with a smart-casual dress code.

How should I clean and care for the leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to maintain the leather's quality and appearance. Consider a waterproofing spray for added protection.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to use a waterproofing spray for better resistance.

What is the main design characteristic of the Padror model?

The Padror model is distinguished by its moc-toe construction, a scalloped edge, and decorative stitching, which give it its iconic look.

Are these shoes considered unisex?

Yes, the product description explicitly states that the Padror model embodies a raw, unisex style.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too large.

Try wearing thicker socks or consider purchasing an insole for a snugger fit. As noted, if you are between sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller size.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

Use a leather cleaner and conditioner designed for your shoe's specific leather type. For minor scuffs, a leather polish matching the shoe's color may help conceal them.

Laces wear out.

Replace the laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Many shoe retailers offer replacement laces.

Sole feels stiff initially.

This is normal for new rubber soles. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The rubber will become more flexible with use.

Care:

  • Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Water Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture, though avoid excessive saturation.

  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
