FAQs

How do I clean the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test on a small, hidden area first. Protectant sprays are recommended for preventative care.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as suede can be easily stained and damaged by water. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, but caution is advised.

What is the 'air cord' apron seam?

The 'air cord' apron seam is a construction technique where the upper material is stitched over a cord before heat setting. This creates a smooth, minimalist seam without any overlap, contributing to the shoe's clean design.

Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

These shoes are best suited for smart-casual occasions due to their suede material and cupsole construction. They are not typically considered formal wear.

What is the benefit of the half leather lining and full leather insock?

The half leather lining and full leather insock provide enhanced comfort, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to a more comfortable wearing experience throughout the day.

How durable is the white cupsole?

The cupsole is made from an incredibly lightweight but durable compound, designed to offer longevity and flexibility for everyday wear.

What UK shoe size is this guide referring to?

This specific guide is for the Oliver Sweeney Amesbury LFR Sn62 in UK size 9. Other sizes are available in this model and related variants.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks flat or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. Brush in multiple directions to restore texture.

Minor water spots or stains on suede

Allow the area to dry naturally. Once dry, gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Using cedar shoe trees can also help maintain shape and absorb moisture.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the cupsole is clean. For increased grip on smooth surfaces, consider a rubber sole protector application by a cobbler if prolonged slippery surface use is expected.

Care: Suede requires specific care to maintain its texture and color.

  1. Brushing: Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. Always brush in one direction.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  3. Stain Removal: For dry stains, allow them to dry completely then brush away. For wet stains, blot gently with a clean cloth; avoid rubbing. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
