FAQs

Are the Aurix shoes true to size?

Yes, they follow standard UK sizing for adults, but the box-toe design offers a roomier fit in the forefoot area.

Can I use standard shoe polish on these?

Use a clear or neutral wax polish. Avoid colored polishes that do not match the specific red finish.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather is durable, they are not classified as waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the leather quality.

Is the insole removable?

The Aurix features an integrated cushioned insole designed to work with the shoe's specific ergonomic shape.

What does the 5i designation mean?

The 5i refers to the specific archival design iteration of this silhouette, featuring the updated sole and box-toe profile.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather causing discomfort during initial wear

Wear thick socks for short periods at home to gradually stretch and soften the leather upper.

Scuffs appearing on the satin finish

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently buff out light marks, or apply a leather conditioner if the finish appears dry.

Sole grip feels slippery on polished floors

The rubber sole may need to be 'scuffed' on rougher concrete to improve initial traction after being brand new.

  • High-quality Satin Finish leather upper
  • Flexible rubber sole provides excellent traction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are made from Satin Finish leather, maintain the material by wiping away dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the unique sheen of the leather. If the surface loses its luster, use a neutral wax polish suitable for leather to gently buff the material back to its original condition. Ensure you wear appropriate weight socks during the first few days of wear to protect your heels while the leather naturally softens to your unique foot shape. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature leather cracking.
