FAQs
What makes these shoes a 'Lone Star' edition?
The 'Lone Star' designation comes from the collaboration with Noel Gallagher, and the shoes feature design elements such as custom tongue tabs that allude to his 'Lone Star' recording studio.
Are these shoes suitable for very wet weather?
While the natural rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
What is the significance of the Teenage Cancer Trust collaboration?
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these special edition shoes goes towards supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity partnered with Noel Gallagher.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to the size guide and compare with your standard UK shoe size. These are UK size 12. For best results, try them on indoors to confirm comfort before wearing them outside.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these chukkas are designed to be worn with socks. Standard ankle socks or trainer socks would be appropriate for comfort and style.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made from hand-pressed natural rubber, known for its durability and flexibility.
How should I clean the custom insoles?
The insoles feature a printed signature and should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture to protect the print.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth sparingly, allowing to air dry completely.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow the suede and insole to mold to your foot shape. Natural rubber outsoles may also require a brief break-in period.
Color transfer from tongue tabs or stitching
This is rare, but if color transfer occurs, try to clean the affected area immediately with a mild detergent and water, then air dry. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until any potential transfer is confirmed not to occur.
