FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Frank Wright Keetley series is designed to standard UK adult sizing.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

While durable, they are made of leather. It is recommended to use a protective water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.

How do I maintain the shine of the black leather?

Regular application of a quality black shoe polish and buffing with a soft cloth will maintain the deep black luster.

Are these suitable for formal events?

Yes, their sleek design and toe cap detailing make them appropriate for formal and semi-formal occasions.

What material is the sole made of?

The Keetley features a hard-wearing synthetic or composite sole designed for durability and comfort.

Is the insole removable?

The Keetley is designed with a fixed insole; we recommend using custom orthotics over the existing one if extra arch support is needed.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather feel during first wear

Wear the shoes for 1-2 hours at a time around the house to allow the leather to soften and stretch gradually.

Scuff marks on leather surface

Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the shine.

Laces slipping or untying

Ensure a double knot is used, or replace the laces if they have lost their natural friction over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Keetley shoes, follow these best practices:

  1. Initial Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  3. Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; using shoe trees will help maintain their shape.
  5. Weather Protection: Apply a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against accidental spills and light moisture.
