What is the sole made of?

Can I wear these in wet weather?

What does the 'Zipped side' closure refer to?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner or use a specialized suede eraser.

Shoe feels stiff initially

This is common with high-quality leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your foot's shape.

Scuff marks on rubber sole

Use a damp cloth or a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for rubber to wipe away scuff marks. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser may be used carefully.
