FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The HEIDI series features a streamlined, sophisticated fit. While the leather will stretch slightly, they are generally recommended for standard foot widths.
How do I determine if size 3.5 is right for me?
If you typically wear standard UK sizing, the 3.5 should fit true to size. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.
Can these be worn in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you live in a damp climate.
Does the leather require special polish?
A standard high-quality black leather cream is sufficient to keep the material nourished and color-rich.
What if I need a different size?
The HEIDI series is available in multiple sizes. Check your retailer's inventory for the specific size that matches your measurements.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff when new
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for short intervals at home to naturally soften the leather.
Scuffs appearing on the black surface
Use a matching black shoe polish or cream to buff out minor scratches and restore the color depth.
Shoe feels slippery on smooth floors
The outsole will gain more traction as it wears in; alternatively, you can have a cobbler add a thin rubber grip sole.
