FAQs

What type of material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of nubuck leather with a distinctive chalk effect finish.

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

These shoes are designed for casual wear and smart-casual outfits. They are not typically suited for formal occasions.

What is the primary benefit of the flexible sole?

The flexible sole allows for natural foot movement, enhancing comfort and ease of wear throughout the day.

How should I clean the black nubuck material?

Use a soft-bristled brush for dry dirt and a specialized nubuck cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive water.

Do these shoes come with extra laces?

Yes, the product includes additional laces.

What does 'low-profile cup design' mean?

It refers to a sleek, streamlined sole design that sits closer to the ground, contributing to a clean and adaptable appearance.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the durable build offers some protection, nubuck is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to protect the material and its finish.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a soft brush. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water-based cleaning methods unless specifically recommended by a nubuck care product.

Shoes feel slightly stiff on first wear.

This is normal for new nubuck footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. The flexible sole will adapt to your foot's movement.

Chalk effect is fading.

Avoid excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning. Gentle brushing is the best method for maintaining the finish. If the effect is significantly diminished, consult specialist shoe care advice.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Nubuck: For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a specialized nubuck cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water excessively, as it can affect the texture and color of the nubuck.
  • Chalk Effect Maintenance: To preserve the unique chalk effect, avoid harsh scrubbing. Gentle brushing is recommended. Prolonged exposure to moisture or abrasive cleaning agents may diminish this finish.
  • Sole Care: The para sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Laces: If laces become worn or dirty, they can be replaced using the additional laces provided or any standard shoelaces of a similar length.
