FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but if you are between sizes, many users prefer to size up to accommodate thicker socks.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather is robust, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray for added moisture resistance.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
How should I clean the white welt stitching?
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to gently scrub the yellow stitching without damaging the leather upper.
Are these suitable for formal events?
The Lowell features a casual-leaning design due to the moc toe; while they work for smart-casual settings, they are not typically considered formal dress shoes.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels too stiff during the first wear.
Apply a leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear the shoes for short durations around the house with thick socks.
The laces keep coming undone.
Ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot if the lace material is slick.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather surface.
Use a matching leather polish or a simple leather cleaner to buff out surface-level scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Lowell is made from durable leather, it is best to wear them for short intervals initially to allow the material to soften and mold to your foot shape. Use thick socks during the first few wears to assist in the break-in process. To maintain the appearance, wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying or cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the leather and the adhesive used in the signature welt construction.
