FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Portico series features a standard fit. If you have wider feet, you may find the standard width snug and might want to consider trying a half-size up or using thinner socks.

How do I maintain the leather finish?

Use a neutral or color-matched leather polish periodically to keep the leather hydrated and protected from minor abrasions.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, the Ortholite insoles are typically removable if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the TR sole offers decent traction, these are premium leather shoes and should be treated with a leather protector spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.

What is the heel height?

The heel height for the Portico model is 30mm.

Are these true to size?

Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult male footwear.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff initially

This is normal for high-quality leather; wear the shoes for short durations inside your home to gradually soften the material.

Minor scuffs on the leather

Apply a matching leather shoe polish and buff with a soft cloth to restore the finish.

Insole dampness after long use

Remove the shoe from direct heat, insert a shoe tree or dry paper, and allow it to air dry completely to ensure the Ortholite material functions correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality premium leather construction
  • Ortholite insoles for extended wear comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Portico shoes, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally mold to the shape of your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish to maintain the sheen and prevent the material from drying out.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the toe cap and absorb moisture.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes follow standard UK sizing; choose your normal size for the best fit.
