FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

These are primarily casual shoes, best suited for smart-casual or everyday wear. They may not be appropriate for formal events.

How do I determine the right size?

The product is listed in UK adult sizes. Refer to standard shoe size charts for conversion if needed. This specific variant is UK size 9.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The suede is treated for water resistance, making them suitable for light moisture or splashes. They are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water.

What is the sole made of?

The outsole is made of 100% rubber, providing stability and traction.

What is the material of the lining and insole?

The lining and insole are both made from 100% cowhide leather.

How often should I reapply suede protector?

Reapplication frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure, but generally, reapplying every few months or after cleaning is recommended.

Do these shoes have good grip?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Allow stains to dry completely. Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, following product instructions carefully.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Arch support feels insufficient

The shoes offer inherent arch support. If more is needed, consider adding aftermarket insoles compatible with low-top shoes.

Shoes lose shape over time

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape. Avoid storing them under heavy items.
