FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average width feet. While leather does stretch, if you typically require wide-fitting shoes, you may find them constrictive. It's best to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For conditioning and to maintain the finish, use a dedicated leather conditioner suitable for black leather.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain. The man-made sole may also have reduced grip in wet conditions. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet weather.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a durable man-made material, designed for regular wear and providing a stable foundation.
Do these shoes require breaking in?
Yes, like most leather shoes, they will benefit from a break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially will help them mold to your foot shape for maximum comfort.
Are these shoes lightweight?
Yes, the design emphasizes lightweight construction to ensure comfort throughout the day.
What type of socks are best to wear with these?
They can be worn with or without socks. If wearing socks, ankle socks or no-show socks are common choices to maintain the clean look. Thin socks made of silk or nylon can also aid in slipping the shoes on.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and conform to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using a shoe tree to gently expand the fit.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe. You can also try a silk or nylon sock to help your foot slide in more easily. The shoe should loosen slightly with wear.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a colored shoe polish that matches the black oily finish. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be necessary.
Slight color variation from online images
Screen settings can affect color representation. The actual color is a deep black oily finish. If the color is significantly different than expected, check the return policy.
