FAQs

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper features a unique combination of Harris Tweed textile and leather overlays.

Are these shoes good for playing handball?

While originally designed for handball, they are now primarily considered a lifestyle shoe. They offer good grip and support for casual wear but may not meet the specific demands of professional play.

How do I clean the Harris Tweed material?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a dry cloth. Avoid soaking the material.

What is the purpose of the OrthoLite® insole?

The OrthoLite® insole provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties for improved comfort during extended wear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite® insole is typically removable, allowing for replacement with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired.

What size should I get if I'm between sizes?

Given the potential for a break-in period, if you are between sizes and prefer a snugger fit, consider sizing down. If you prefer more room or plan to wear thicker socks, consider sizing up.

What kind of outfits do these shoes best complement?

These shoes are highly versatile and pair well with casual outfits such as jeans, chinos, shorts, and t-shirts. They also complement athleisure wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with new leather and textile shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Some creasing is natural with leather. For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or balm. Store shoes properly when not in use to maintain shape.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers good grip, traction on very wet or slippery surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the Harris Tweed and leather components, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Lining and Insole: The OrthoLite® insole can often be removed for airing out. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth if necessary.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or brush to remove dirt and debris.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  5. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray on the leather elements to help repel water and stains.
