FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are made with leather and have a rubber outsole, offering some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to water penetration.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the Kleman Major VP Oak 2 features a removable footbed, allowing you to replace it with your own preferred insoles or orthotics for enhanced comfort.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the texture. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on the suede.

What is the heel height?

The shoes have a heel height of 3cm, providing a modest lift and support for comfortable everyday wear.

What is the origin of the Tyrolean shoe style?

The Tyrolean shoe style, characterized by its scalloped hem and moccasin stitching, originated from the Alps region and was historically used for mountaineering. Kleman adapted this style for practical work footwear, including for French rail workers.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The shoes are constructed from 85% suede split cowhide and 15% cowhide leather, with a rubber outsole and a leather insole.

Do these shoes come in different colors?

This particular model is described as 'Brown'. Please refer to the product listing for available color variations.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather or due to friction. Try dusting the inside with talcum powder or baking soda, or ensure the insole is properly seated.

Leather appearing dry or stiff

Apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream designed for suede and leather to restore moisture and suppleness. Follow product instructions carefully.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern. A firm brush can help.

Discomfort from the fit

Ensure the removable footbed is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider the possibility that the shoe size may not be optimal for your foot shape. Trying a different size or width might be necessary.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Use a leather conditioner specifically for suede and cowhide to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Allow to air dry naturally if wet.
  • Suede: Use a suede brush to clean away dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser may be effective.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the tread for optimal grip.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
