FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather uppers are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance, it is recommended to use a waterproofing spray designed for leather to enhance protection against water and stains.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat.
What is the purpose of the 360° lacing system?
This system allows you to adjust the laces around the entire shoe, providing a more secure and customized fit for optimal comfort and stability.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the leather-lined footbed is designed to be comfortable against the foot. However, due to the unlined interior, some users may prefer to wear thin socks, especially during the break-in period.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is generally recommended to condition the leather every 6 to 12 months, or as needed, based on the climate and how frequently the shoes are worn. This helps maintain the leather's suppleness.
What makes the hand-stitched construction special?
Hand-stitching is a traditional method that signifies a higher level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, contributing to the shoe's durability and classic aesthetic.
What is Vibram rubber?
Vibram is a renowned manufacturer of high-performance rubber soles known for their durability, excellent traction, and resistance to wear and tear. The Vibram outsole on these shoes ensures reliable grip and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Walking around indoors can help break them in faster. Consider using a leather conditioner after the initial break-in period.
Laces are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. If they become stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner can be applied to the laces themselves (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a quality leather conditioner suitable for the type of leather. Follow product instructions for application and allow it to absorb fully.
Reduced grip or slippery sole.
The Vibram outsole provides excellent grip, but it can lose traction if excessively dirty or worn. Clean the sole with water and a brush. If the sole is significantly worn down, consider professional resoling.
