FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Opt for dress socks or fine-knit casual socks that match or complement the shoe colour or your outfit. Avoid thick, athletic socks which can detract from the shoe's refined appearance.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While a suede protector can offer some resistance, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.
How should I store the shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in a dust bag or their original box protects the suede.
What is the main benefit of the slightly raised sole?
The slightly raised sole provides enhanced stability and additional cushioning, contributing to overall comfort during extended wear.
How does the rear pull tab function?
The rear pull tab is a loop located at the back of the shoe's collar. It provides a convenient grip to help pull the shoe on more easily.
Are these shoes suitable for a business professional environment?
Yes, the classic silhouette and suede material make them suitable for many business-casual and smart-casual professional environments, particularly when paired with appropriate attire.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in the direction of the nap to restore its texture. For stubborn matting, a suede eraser can be effective.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser or brush to gently lift the stain. If persistent, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Difficulty with lacing adjustment
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting on the shoe. Adjust the five-eyelet system for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring even pressure across the foot.

Care Instructions:
