How do I clean the leather exterior?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What makes the outsole suitable for wet surfaces?
The outsole features siping, which are small slits designed to channel water away and increase grip on wet or dry surfaces.
Does the shoe offer good arch support?
The shoes feature a cushioned OrthoLite® footbed, which provides comfort and some level of support. For specific arch support needs, consult with a footwear specialist.

Can I wear these shoes without socks?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the fit is consistently too snug.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. For scuffs, try using a matching colored shoe polish or cream, buffing gently after application.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the siped rubber outsole is clean from dirt or debris that might impede traction. The siping is designed for grip, but accumulated dirt can reduce its effectiveness. The shoes are intended for reliable traction, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk.
