FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but consider that the full-grain leather may feel snug at first before molding to your foot.
Can I replace the insoles?
While the shoes feature a comfortable footbed, the insoles are generally integrated into the construction; check if your specific insert fits over the base.
How do I protect the leather from water?
The inherent waxy finish provides some natural water resistance, but you can apply a leather protector spray suitable for oiled leathers for extra coverage.
Is the sole slip-resistant?
The traditional DMS air-cushioned sole offers good traction for everyday urban surfaces, but it is not classified as industrial-grade slip-resistant footwear.
How often should I condition the leather?
Depending on usage, conditioning every 3-6 months is usually sufficient to maintain the leather's integrity and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during first wear
This is normal for high-quality leather; wear them for short intervals indoors with thick socks to assist the break-in process.
Waxy leather finish appears dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for oiled or waxed leathers to restore the sheen and protective barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are made from natural Grained Oiled leather, initial wear should be gradual to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot. To maintain the leather's unique waxy finish, avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial cleaners. Regularly wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for oiled or waxy finishes to keep the material supple. Ensure the shoes are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the heat-sealed sole adhesive to weaken prematurely.
