FAQs

What material is used for the insole?

The insole is made from a combination of leather and felt, providing comfort and support.

How should I clean the metal DG logo?

Gently wipe the metal DG logo with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes that could scratch the metal finish.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes, due to the leather and rubber sole construction, these shoes can typically be resoled by a professional cobbler when the original sole wears down.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the rubber portion of the sole offers some protection, these are primarily leather shoes and not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing them in inclement weather.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in their original box or a soft shoe bag in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees made of cedar wood is highly recommended to absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's shape.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for men's footwear. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the brand's specific sizing guide is recommended for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Ensure you are using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can contribute to creasing.

Slight discoloration after cleaning

This may occur if too much water or an incorrect cleaning product was used. Ensure future cleaning uses only recommended methods. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The leather and rubber sole provides a balance of grip and flexibility. For very slick surfaces, consider a professional cobbler to add a more aggressive tread if necessary, though this may alter the shoe's aesthetic.
