FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the extra-cushioned insole and ergonomic design make them comfortable for daily walking, though like all leather shoes, they benefit from a break-in period.
How do I clean the red leather?
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Use a leather-safe cleaner if needed, and always follow up with a conditioner to maintain the material's sheen.
Does the wide toe box make the shoe run large?
The box-toe is an ergonomic design choice. It is recommended to purchase your standard UK size.
Can I replace the insole?
The Aurix 5i comes with a specifically designed cushioned insole, but if necessary, it can be replaced with a high-quality aftermarket orthopedic insole.
Is the leather waterproof?
While the leather is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. Applying a water-repellent spray will help protect the material from light rain.
What is the benefit of the sole extending up the heel?
This design provides added protection against scuffs and wear in high-impact areas, while also contributing to the modern, progressive profile of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during the first few wears
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors with thick socks to gently stretch the material.
Scuffs appearing on the leather surface
Use a damp cloth to clean the area, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish to buff the scuff away.
Sole losing its flexibility
Ensure the shoes are kept in a temperature-controlled environment; extreme cold can sometimes make rubber soles feel stiffer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are made from premium leather, it is important to treat them before the first use with a leather protectant spray. For regular care, use a damp cloth to wipe away dust and debris. If the shoes become scuffed, apply a matching red leather polish or a neutral leather conditioner to restore the sheen and keep the material supple. Ensure the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or harden. Given the ergonomic, wider fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, but be aware that leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly to your specific foot shape over time.
