How should I clean the leather on these shoes?
The shoes are made from 100% calfskin and require specialist leather cleaning only. Avoid water-based cleaners and opt for professional services for deep cleaning.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these fine leather shoes in wet conditions as moisture can damage the leather and its finish. Consider using a protector spray for light protection, but avoid prolonged exposure to rain or puddles.
What is the fit like for the Church's Shannon shoes?
These shoes offer a regular fit. It is always recommended to try them on if possible, or consult sizing guides carefully.
How do I maintain the glossy finish?

What material is used for the sole?
The product description focuses on the calfskin leather upper and does not specify the sole material. However, traditional formal shoes often feature leather or durable composite soles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff.
Allow for a break-in period of regular, short wears. Use high-quality shoe trees when not in use. Consider a professional cobbler for minor stretching if necessary.
Scuffs or minor marks on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or a very small amount of neutral shoe polish. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather specialist.
Loss of shine.
Gently buff the shoes with a soft, clean cloth. Apply a small amount of appropriate leather polish and buff again to restore the sheen.
