FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit of the Base London Strand may not be ideal for very wide feet. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews for fit feedback.

How do I clean my suede shoes?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaning solution can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While suede can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions can damage the suede. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to all-day comfort and reducing foot fatigue.

How do I maintain the color of the brown suede?

Regular brushing with a suede brush helps maintain the color and texture. Using a suede protector spray can also help preserve the color and prevent fading from UV exposure.

What occasions are these shoes best suited for?

The Base London Strand is a versatile derby shoe suitable for business casual environments, smart-casual events, and everyday wear where a polished look is desired.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears faded or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Consider using a suede cleaner following product instructions.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The suede and Ortholite insole will mold to your foot over time.

Laces fray or break

Replace laces with a similar style and length. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly to prevent excessive wear.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. A suede protector spray can help prevent future water marks.
