FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they will adjust slightly to your foot width over time.
Can these be worn in rainy weather?
While the lug sole provides good grip, genuine leather can be damaged by water. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to encounter wet conditions.
How do I polish the gold-toned hardware?
Gently wipe the hardware with a soft microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and oils. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
They are designed for daily wear and commuting; the lug sole offers support, but they are not intended as dedicated walking shoes for miles of trekking.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The exterior upper is constructed from premium leather, supported by a synthetic rubber lug sole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during the first few wears
Leather will soften with heat and friction; try wearing them for short intervals indoors with socks to stretch them out.
Scuffs on the black leather surface
Apply a small amount of black leather shoe polish or a neutral leather cream to buff out minor surface abrasions.
Debris stuck in the lug sole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge stones or dirt from the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Flora Low Shoes stay in pristine condition, keep them away from excessive moisture and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Since they are crafted from genuine leather, it is recommended to use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. For cleaning, simply wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the lug sole collects debris, a gentle brush can be used to maintain the traction pattern. Ensure you check your specific UK size, as the leather will mold slightly to your foot shape over the first few wears.
