The Base London Portico is a sophisticated toe-cap Oxford designed for the professional adult male seeking a balance between classic style and modern comfort. Ideal for office environments, formal events, or smart-casual occasions, this shoe features a premium leather construction and an Ortholite insole to support extended wear. Note that as a traditional leather shoe, it requires a short break-in period to achieve the perfect fit and regular maintenance to preserve the finish.

Yes, the Portico follows standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape may vary slightly.
While the Ortholite insoles are high-quality, they can be removed if you require custom orthotics.
For daily wearers, a light polish once every two weeks is recommended to keep the leather hydrated.
While durable, leather shoes should be treated with a water-repellent spray if you anticipate frequent exposure to rain.
Store them in a cool, dry place using wooden shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe cap.
Yes, the Portico series is also available in brown leather variants.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to gently soften and stretch the leather.
Apply a small amount of matching black leather polish, let it dry, and buff with a soft cloth.
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure surgeon's knot, and replace laces if they become frayed.
When you first receive your Portico shoes, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest to ensure a proper fit. Pair these shoes with charcoal or navy trousers for a classic look, or dark denim for a modern, smart-casual appearance. For care, use a high-quality black shoe cream to nourish the leather and a soft horsehair brush to buff the surface to a shine. Use shoe trees after every wear to help the leather retain its shape and absorb residual moisture. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
