Vegetable-tanned leather uses natural tannins from plants. This process is more traditional and environmentally friendly than chrome tanning. It allows the leather to age gracefully, developing a unique patina and character over time that is specific to its use.

Regularly clean with a soft cloth. Use a matching black shoe polish and buff with a clean cloth or brush to restore the shine. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The signature gel comfort insole is integrated into the shoe for optimal support and is not designed to be removable.

These Derby shoes are ideal for formal events such as weddings, business meetings, and formal dinners. They also complement smart-casual attire like dress trousers or chinos.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or dust bags will protect them.

The 'Veg Tan' collection signifies shoes crafted using the artisan vegetable tanning process for the leather, emphasizing natural materials and traditional techniques.

While the leather is treated, it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, dry them naturally away from heat and condition the leather afterwards.

Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations indoors. Use a leather conditioner to help soften the leather.

Use a matching black shoe polish and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional cobbler.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner specifically designed for vegetable-tanned and polished leather. Ensure you are using the correct product and applying it sparingly.
