FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vagabond Shoemakers MARTA series generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can influence the fit.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While durable, they are made of leather and are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to add a layer of water resistance.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, then follow up with a leather-specific conditioner or cream.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
They are designed for standard daily activity and office environments; they are not intended for long-distance walking or hiking.
Do they provide arch support?
The MARTA series features a standard flat insole construction typical of high-end pumps; for additional support, thin aftermarket insoles can be used.
Is the leather polishable?
Yes, the high-quality leather used in these shoes responds very well to standard black shoe polish and cream.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight upon initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods at home with thick socks to gently stretch and break in the material.
Scuffs appearing on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream and a soft cloth to buff out superficial scuffs and restore the uniform color.
Heel tap wearing down
Visit a local cobbler to replace the rubber heel tip once it begins to show significant thinning to prevent damage to the heel structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your MARTA pumps remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since they are made from genuine leather, treat them with a high-quality leather cream or polish every few weeks to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris after wear. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or dry out the leather.
