FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are made from suede and leather and are not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. For very wet weather, consider using a water-repellent spray designed for suede and leather.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the Major VP Oak 2 features a removable footbed, allowing you to replace it with your own preferred insole or orthotic for personalized comfort and support.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning is recommended. Avoid washing with water.

What is the heel height?

The shoe has a heel height of 3cm, providing a comfortable lift suitable for everyday wear without compromising stability.

What does 'Tyrolean shoes' mean?

Tyrolean shoes are a style originating from the Tyrol region, characterized by a specific construction method, often including a moccasin-stitched toe box with a scalloped hem, and robust soles. Kleman utilizes this heritage in their designs.

What is the main advantage of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and excellent grip, inspired by mountaineering boots. This provides reliable traction on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or professional cleaning. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Ensure the footbed is correctly positioned. Consider replacing the footbed with an orthotic if additional support is needed, as the original is removable.

Reduced grip on the sole.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be impairing traction.

Leather parts look dry.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the leather sections using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently.
