FAQs
What is Blake stitching?
Blake stitching is a construction method where the outer sole is stitched directly to the insole, providing the shoe with superior flexibility and a lightweight feel.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather is durable, it is natural and should not be submerged in water or used in heavy rain conditions to avoid damaging the finish.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
The soft leather and flexible construction mean that break-in time is minimal, though they will continue to mold more precisely to your feet over time.
How should I clean the rubber soles?
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary to remove surface dirt and maintain the fresh look.
Can I use these for formal occasions?
The Malibu features a clean, classic aesthetic that works very well for smart-casual events, though they are primarily designed as casual low shoes.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or matte
Apply a high-quality leather polish to restore the natural luster of the material.
Sole grip is slippery on smooth floors
Ensure the soles are clean of debris and moisture, as rubber soles perform best when dry.
Shoes feel tight after long storage
Leather can stiffen when not worn; wear them for short intervals to allow the material to regain its natural flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are crafted from natural leather, they require specific care to remain in top condition. To maintain the leather's appearance, use a high-quality leather cream or polish to restore shine when the material begins to show a matte finish. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can affect the leather's texture. For the best compatibility, ensure you choose your standard UK sizing, as the construction is designed to fit true to size. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the leather from drying out or discoloring.
