FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather is more water-resistant than canvas, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I determine if UK 8.5 is the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to compare them with your existing sneakers or visit a store for a fitting.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole; stick to hand-cleaning with a soft cloth.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
These are lifestyle sneakers and are not designed for high-impact sports or heavy athletic training.
Do the laces need special care?
The white laces can be removed and hand-washed in warm water with mild detergent if they become discolored.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors with thick socks to gently stretch and break in the leather.
White leather developing scuffs
Use a white vinyl or leather eraser to gently buff out surface scuffs and marks.
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; store with shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and surface dirt.
- Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution, avoiding harsh detergents that could dry out the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather discoloration or cracking.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a clear leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness.
