Lacing: Unlace the shoes to loosen them adequately.
Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel sits comfortably against the padded heel tab.
Adjust Laces: Pull the laces firmly but not too tightly, working from the toe upwards. Ensure an even tension across the top of your foot.
Tie Securely: Tie the laces in a double knot for maximum security, especially if you plan on extended periods of walking.
These shoes are designed for adult males and are highly versatile. They pair well with a range of outfits, from jeans and chinos for a casual look to trousers for a smart-casual or business-casual environment. The dark brown leather makes them a staple for autumn and winter wardrobes but also suitable for year-round wear.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather shoes:
Cleaning: Regularly wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks (or more often if worn frequently) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain its rich color.
Polishing: Use a dark brown shoe polish to restore shine and cover any scuffs. Apply sparingly with a cloth, let dry, and then buff to a shine.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage leather.
Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Outsole: Periodically check the rubber outsole for embedded debris. Clean with a stiff brush and water if necessary to maintain optimal grip.
