FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
The TR outsole offers good flexibility and durability for everyday walking. However, for very long distances or strenuous activities, specialized walking or running shoes may provide better support and cushioning.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on climate and usage. In dry conditions or with frequent wear, condition every 2-3 months. In more humid climates or with less wear, every 4-6 months may suffice.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the TR outsole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.
What type of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Mid-weight or thin socks made of natural fibers like cotton or wool are generally comfortable. For a snugger fit, thinner socks are recommended.
Does the contrast stitching wear out?
The contrast stitching is designed to be durable. With normal wear and tear, it should last the lifespan of the shoe. Avoid excessive rubbing or snagging.
What is the benefit of a TR outsole?
A TR (thermoplastic rubber) outsole is known for its excellent balance of flexibility, durability, and lightweight properties. It also provides good traction on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets evenly. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, good-quality leather laces. A double knot can provide extra security.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tightness of the leather laces. If the shoe consistently feels too tight or loose in specific areas, consider insoles or thicker/thinner socks. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consult the retailer for an exchange.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner generously and allow it to soak in. Repeat application if necessary. Ensure the shoes are not stored in excessively dry conditions.
Slight discoloration on leather
Test a small, inconspicuous area with a leather cleaner. If the discoloration persists and is minor, a matching brown shoe polish can sometimes help to even out the tone.
