FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The Bennett shoes are made from quality leather, which offers some natural resistance, but they are not waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing; choose your usual size. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, consider the adjustability of the Derby lacing system.

Can I resole these shoes?

Yes, high-quality leather shoes like the Bennett series can generally be resoled by a professional cobbler to extend their lifespan.

What is the best way to store these when not in use?

Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain the shape of the shoe, preventing unwanted creasing.

Are these suitable for formal weddings?

Yes, the polished leather and classic silhouette make them an ideal choice for formal events, including weddings.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable

The leather will soften with wear. Try wearing them for short periods around the house with thicker socks to gently stretch and break them in.

Surface scuffs appearing

Apply a black shoe cream or wax polish using a soft cloth, buffing the scuffed area gently to restore the shine and color.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care is essential for extending the life of your leather footwear:

  1. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Use wooden shoe trees to help maintain the shape when not in use.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe away dust and debris with a soft cloth after each wear. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish matched to the black finish to nourish the material.
  3. Weatherproofing: While leather has natural resilience, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they become wet, stuff the insides with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally; never use a radiator or hair dryer.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes run true to standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a size 9, the Bennett 9 is designed to fit accordingly.
