FAQs
What does LWG certification mean for the leather?
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification ensures that the leather is sourced from tanneries that adhere to strict environmental standards, covering aspects like water usage, waste management, and emissions.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Classic Slip-On typically has a medium width. While the leather can stretch slightly, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather and rubber components can be damaged by the washing machine's cycle and heat, compromising the shoe's structure and appearance.
How should I protect the animal print pattern?
The animal print is part of the leather's finish. Basic leather care (cleaning with a damp cloth, using leather conditioner sparingly if needed) will help maintain the pattern's integrity. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could wear away the print.
What is the difference between this model and the 'Classic Slip-On'?
This is a specific iteration of the 'Classic Slip-On' series, distinguished by its animal print pattern and Multicolor/Beige colorway. The core design and features of the slip-on silhouette remain consistent.
Can I replace the insoles if they wear out?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing for replacement if they become worn or if you wish to insert custom orthotics for additional support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. You can also try wearing thicker socks around the house during the break-in period.
Scuffs or marks on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper marks, a professional leather restoration service might be necessary.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the sole or the shoe rubbing against your foot. Try adding a powder like talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole, or check if any parts of the shoe are rubbing excessively.
Discoloration of the leather.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat. If discoloration has occurred, consider using a leather dye specifically for your shoe's color, or consult a professional.
