Product Information

Full details

The Oliver Sweeney Carlton Shoes in Navy are ideal for the adult male seeking a stylish and comfortable low shoe. Their key benefit is the blend of classic brogue detailing with a modern, ultra-lightweight sole for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that while made of leather, the care instructions are specific and require attention to maintain their appearance.

FAQs

What type of leather is used for the upper?

The upper is made from milled calf leather, which has a distinctive grainy texture and offers durability.

Is the sole made of real leather?

No, the sole is constructed from an XL Finproject EVA compound, which is ultra-lightweight and durable. It features a leather stitched rand around the edge.

How should I clean these shoes?

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for milled calf leather, following their instructions.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are not inherently waterproof. While the leather can be treated with waterproof sprays, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended.

What is the main advantage of the Finproject Extralight sole?

The primary advantage is its exceptional lightness and durability, which contributes significantly to the overall comfort of the shoe, especially for extended wear.

Can I wear these shoes for formal occasions?

The classic brogue styling makes them suitable for smart casual and business casual environments. For very formal events, traditional oxfords might be more appropriate.

What does 'antique finished at the toe and heel' mean?

This refers to a finishing technique applied to the leather at the toe and heel areas to create a subtle variation in colour and a slightly distressed or aged appearance, adding character.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new, high-quality leather or fabric laces of a similar length. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a suitable leather conditioner and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary, ensuring to use a product designed for milled calf leather.

Sole feels less cushioned over time

The EVA sole is designed for long-lasting lightweight cushioning. If significant reduction in comfort occurs, check for excessive wear on the tread or consult a cobbler for potential resoling options if feasible.

Minor scuffs on the leather

Use a leather cleaning balm or cream polish in a matching navy shade. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
