FAQs

What is the weight of these shoes?

The shoes have a substantial build weighing approximately 1325g.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoes feature an almond toe shape, which offers a sleek profile. If you have particularly wide feet, you may wish to try them on or consult sizing guides carefully.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to use a leather waterproofing spray for added protection.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is generally recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions or dry climates.

What does 'Derby shoe' mean?

A Derby shoe is a style of shoe characterized by its open lacing, where the shoelace eyelet tabs are stitched on top of the vamp (the front part of the shoe). This offers more adjustability than closed lacing systems.

What is Ortholite® cushioning?

Ortholite® is a brand of insoles known for their breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and long-term cushioning. It helps to keep feet cool, dry, and comfortable.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% rubber, designed for durability and grip.

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather repair cream or polish matching the shoe's colour.

Reduced comfort over time

Ensure the Ortholite® cushioning is not compressed. If the insoles are removable, air them out. Consider replacing insoles if wear is significant.

Slippery sole on wet surfaces

The rubber sole offers traction, but caution is advised on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris.

Shoes feel stiff initially

This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot.

Cons

  • The 1325g build may be perceived as heavy by some users.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  • Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  • Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
