FAQs

Are the Base London Strand shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average width feet. If you have wider feet, it's recommended to try them on first or consider products specifically designed for wider fittings.

How do I clean the Ortholite® insole?

The insole is designed for comfort and breathability. For general cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid soaking the insole, and allow it to air dry completely.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the shoes have a durable sole, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, but it's best to keep them dry.

What type of socks are best with these shoes?

Thin to medium-weight socks made of natural materials like cotton or wool are generally recommended for comfort and to maintain the shoe's fit. Avoid very thick socks, which can make the shoes feel tight.

How often should I reapply suede protector?

It's advisable to reapply suede protector every few months, or more frequently if the shoes have been exposed to moisture or heavy use. Always reapply after cleaning the suede.

What is the return policy for these shoes?

Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for details on returns and exchanges, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.

Slightly tight fit

Wear the shoes with a thicker pair of socks for a short period to help them stretch. Alternatively, consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape and gently expand the fit over time.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The navy colour and derby style make them compatible with a wide range of smart-casual and formal attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and dust from the suede. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading.
