FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions, though leather can sometimes feel snug initially.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the lug sole provides good grip, leather is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the integrity of the material.
How do I clean the gold hardware?
Simply wipe the metal details with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain their shine.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Flora series features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the structured leather requires a longer break-in period.
Does the lug sole make the shoe heavy?
The lug sole is designed for balance; while it is more substantial than a standard flat sole, it is engineered for comfortable all-day wear.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods at home with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the leather.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of leather cream matching the black color and buff gently with a clean cloth.
Dust accumulation in lug sole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear immediately upon arrival. To ensure longevity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading. Since they are constructed from genuine leather, it is recommended to use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To maintain the gold-tone metal accents, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints or dust.
