FAQs
What type of leather are these shoes made from?
The shoes are crafted from oiled and waxed leather, which enhances durability and provides a distinctive finish.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
These are primarily casual or smart-casual shoes. While they have a classic design, they are best suited for informal settings rather than formal events.
How should I care for the oiled and waxed leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner specifically for oiled and waxed leather. Protect from excessive water and dry naturally if wet.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The heel height measures approximately 2cm (or about 1 inch).
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is treated, they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or to use a water-repellent spray for added protection.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to standard UK sizing. The lace-up fastening allows for some adjustment. If unsure between sizes, consider the foot width and personal preference for a snug or looser fit.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing good traction and durability.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner designed for oiled and waxed leather. Ensure you test on a small area first.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape. Leather will naturally soften with wear.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or conditioner might help, or consult a professional cobbler.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean. If slippage persists, consider a professional sole treatment or replacement if significantly worn.

Care Instructions:
