FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

The Kleman Padror shoes are known to run large. If you typically wear two different sizes, we strongly advise selecting the smaller size. It's always best to try them on if possible or consult a size chart.

What is the origin of the Padror shoe?

The Padror was first introduced in the 1980s and was created in the 1990s for SNCF (French National Railway Company) agents. It embodies the brand's ethos of honest materials and French craftsmanship.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made from cowhide leather sourced from a Spanish tannery that is certified by the Leather Working Group.

Are these shoes suitable for work?

Historically, they were designed for railway agents, suggesting durability and practicality for demanding environments. Their robust construction makes them suitable for many work settings that do not require specialized safety features.

How should I clean the leather?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a product specifically designed for genuine leather, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to protect the leather from excessive moisture and consider a waterproofing spray if frequently exposed to wet conditions.

What defines the unique look of the Padror?

The Padror is characterized by its moc-toe construction, a low collar, decorative stitching, and a distinctive scalloped edge detail on the leather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too large.

As noted, the Padror often runs large. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller size. If you have already purchased and they are too large, consider using thicker socks or an insole.

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for cowhide leather. Use sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Allow the conditioner to absorb before wearing.

Soles are losing grip.

Ensure the rubber soles are clean from dirt and debris. For persistent grip issues, consult a cobbler to assess the sole's condition and potential for resoling or minor repairs.

Care: To maintain the leather and prolong the life of your shoes:
