FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Mid-weight dress socks or fine-gauge wool socks are recommended to complement the style and ensure comfort with the UK size 10.5 fit.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the leather. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.
How do I break in new leather shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Bending the shoe gently and wearing them around the house can help soften the leather.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average width feet. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on in person or check for available wider fittings.
What is the heel made of?
Typically, formal leather shoes feature a stacked leather heel or a rubber heel for durability and grip, though specific material may vary. Consult product details for exact specifications.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, the construction of quality Goodyear welted or Blake stitched shoes usually allows for resoling by a professional cobbler, extending their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure socks are of typical thickness worn with the shoes. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width if available, or consult a shoe fitting specialist.
Scuff marks appear on the leather
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a matching colour shoe polish or a leather repair kit, following the product instructions.
Laces become worn or frayed
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure the new laces are tied securely but not excessively tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes require no specific setup. They are compatible with standard adult male foot sizes. To maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Polishing: For a deeper clean and shine, use a quality shoe polish specifically designed for black leather. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff to a desired sheen.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against light rain and stains, especially if exposed to adverse weather.
