FAQs
What type of leather are these shoes made from?
These Giorgio Armani Derby shoes are made from antique-look calfskin leather.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
These shoes are primarily designed for formal occasions due to their elegant style and high-gloss finish. They are best suited for events like business meetings, weddings, and formal dinners rather than daily casual wear.
How should I care for the glossy finish?
To maintain the glossy finish, clean the shoes regularly with a soft cloth and apply a quality black leather shoe polish. Buff gently after polishing to restore shine.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is constructed from a combination of premium rubber and leather for durability and comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber sole offer some protection, it is advisable to avoid wearing these formal shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the quality and appearance of the leather.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer and consider your typical shoe size in UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
What does 'antique-look' calfskin mean?
This refers to a specific tanning and finishing process that gives the calfskin leather a unique, aged appearance with a distinctive, highly glossy surface, adding to its refined aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or scratches on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching black leather polish and apply gently, followed by buffing.
Loss of shine
Apply a suitable black leather shoe polish and buff with a soft brush or cloth until the desired gloss is achieved.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Consider using cushioned insoles or wearing the shoes for shorter periods initially to break them in.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the shoes with medium-weight socks for a few hours each day. Professional shoe stretching services can also be considered for a more significant adjustment.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt. For more significant marks, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture.
- Polishing: Apply a high-quality shoe polish specifically designed for black leather every few wears to maintain the distinctive glossy finish. Buff gently with a soft brush or cloth.
- Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the calfskin supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store the shoes in their original box or dust bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the leather and preserve their shape. Use shoe trees to maintain their form when not in use.
