FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing. Because they are available in half sizes, you can achieve a more precise fit.

Where are the Connell shoes manufactured?

These shoes are expertly crafted in Portugal.

Can I use these for daily office wear?

Absolutely. The cushioned footbed is designed to provide enough support for professional daily wear.

How do I ensure the leather lasts longer?

Regular polishing and the use of shoe trees are essential to keep the leather hydrated and properly shaped.

Is the leather lining breathable?

Yes, the use of genuine leather for both the lining and insole helps with natural moisture management and breathability.

Are these suitable for formal weddings?

Yes, the classic Oxford design is the gold standard for formal events, including weddings and galas.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels tight across the instep

Oxford shoes have a closed-lacing system. Try loosening the laces significantly before putting them on to allow for a wider opening.

Leather surface shows signs of scuffing

Apply a black shoe polish matching the finish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the uniform color.

Sole feels slippery on indoor surfaces

The soles are new and smooth. Walking on a slightly rough pavement for a short period can help create the necessary friction on the outsoles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality LWG-certified leather construction
  • Sophisticated formal design perfect for weddings and business meetings
  • Enhanced comfort through the inclusion of a cushioned footbed
  • Wide range of half-size options for a better fit

  • Requires regular leather conditioning to maintain appearance
  • Formal sole design may be slippery on smooth surfaces initially
  • Not intended for casual or rugged outdoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Connell is an Oxford-style shoe, it is best paired with tailored trousers, suits, or high-quality chinos. Before wearing them for a full day, it is recommended to wear them indoors for short periods to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet.

Care Instructions:

  1. Use a soft cloth or brush to remove surface dust after every use.
  2. Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Store using wooden shoe trees to maintain the shoe's shape and absorb excess moisture.
  4. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain; if they get wet, dry them naturally away from direct heat sources.
