FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are made from suede and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. We recommend using a suede protector spray for water resistance.
How do I clean the black suede?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 3.5cm (approximately 1.5 inches).
What materials are used for cushioning?
The cushioning is made from 100% leather, designed to provide comfort and conform to your foot.
Can I wear these shoes for formal occasions?
These shoes are best described as smart-casual. While they can complement business-casual attire, they may not be suitable for very formal events. Their classic brogue styling lends themselves well to smart-casual looks.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made from 100% EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), which offers lightweight flexibility and good grip.
How should I store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag or the original box is recommended to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears flat or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The leather cushioning will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. A suede protector can help prevent future spots.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are securely knotted. Consider replacing them with a different type of lace if the issue persists.
