FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for men's footwear.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Yes, as with all high-quality leather shoes, the material will gradually conform to the shape of your feet with regular wear.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, because they feature a high-quality leather construction, they can be taken to a professional cobbler for resoling when the original sole wears down.
Should I apply a water repellent spray?
It is generally recommended to avoid harsh sprays. If necessary, use a leather-specific protector, but test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These shoes are handcrafted in Italy, adhering to premium manufacturing standards.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your foot shape.
Leather sole is slippery on smooth surfaces
New leather soles can be slick; consider wearing them on rougher surfaces or taking them to a cobbler to add a thin rubber protective sole if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dries Van Noten shoes remain in pristine condition, proper care is essential:
- Storage: Always store your shoes in the provided dust bag when not in use to protect the leather from dust and scratches.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain, as leather soles can become slippery and are susceptible to water damage.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For deep cleaning, use professional-grade leather conditioner and a soft brush to avoid damaging the finish near the studs.
- Care: Use a shoe horn when putting them on to maintain the shape of the heel counter.
