FAQs

What is the main material of these shoes?

The shoes are primarily constructed from calfskin and suede, with terry cotton and leather details.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description states a 'regular fit'. While the lacing can be adjusted, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.

How should I clean the distressed areas?

The distressed details are part of the design. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing on these areas to maintain their intended aesthetic.

Can the insole be replaced with an orthotic?

Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

Given the low-top design and premium materials, consider wearing thin to medium-weight socks, such as cotton or fine wool blends, that complement the shoe's sophisticated style.

What is the purpose of the eyelets on the side?

The three eyelets on the side are for ventilation, helping to improve airflow and keep your feet comfortable.

Do these shoes come in other colours or sizes?

This guide specifically covers the Black variant in UK size 7.5. Other sizes and potentially colours may be available under different product listings.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight/loose

Adjust the lace-up fastening to your preferred tightness. If the overall fit is still uncomfortable, consider if the regular fit is suitable for your foot shape or if insoles need to be adjusted.

Material scuffing or damage

For minor scuffs on leather, a leather cleaner and conditioner may help. For suede, use a specialized suede eraser or brush. Minor distress is part of the design; avoid excessive abrasion.

Sole feels slippery

New rubber soles can sometimes have a slick surface. Gently scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a sole grip spray can improve traction.

Discoloration from cleaning

Ensure you are using a *damp*, not wet, cloth and that the cloth is clean. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using colored cloths that could transfer dye.

Care Instructions:
