Product Information

Full details

These Base London Dome Derby shoes in black, size 10, are designed for the modern adult male seeking sophisticated style and all-day comfort. The key benefit is the premium leather construction combined with Ortholite cushioning for lasting wear, making them ideal for formal or smart-casual occasions. A potential caveat is their substantial weight of 1325g, which, while indicating robust build, might be a consideration for those prioritizing ultra-light footwear. Key features include a 100% leather upper and lining, a durable 100% rubber sole, classic lace-up fastening, and an almond toe.

FAQs

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% durable rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

Yes, their classic Derby design and premium leather finish make them highly suitable for formal occasions.

How do I ensure the best fit with the lace-up fastening?

Lace the shoes evenly, ensuring equal tension on both sides, and tie them securely. Adjust tightness as needed throughout the day for optimal comfort.

What is the benefit of Ortholite cushioning?

Ortholite cushioning provides enhanced comfort, breathability, and long-term support, helping to reduce foot fatigue during extended wear.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and ensure they are properly dried and cared for afterward.

How often should I polish these shoes?

It is recommended to polish them after cleaning, or whenever they appear dull, to maintain their shine and protect the leather. This could be weekly or bi-weekly depending on wear.

What is the weight of the shoes?

These shoes have a substantial weight of 1325g, reflecting their robust construction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially.

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using a shoe stretcher if tightness persists after several wears.

Laces fraying or breaking.

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure they are not tied too tightly to prevent unnecessary stress.

Loss of shine after wear.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality black shoe polish and buff with a soft cloth to restore the shine.

Squeaking sound from shoes.

This can sometimes occur if moisture gets trapped. Ensure shoes are completely dry. Sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe near the sole or in the cushioning to absorb moisture and reduce friction.
