FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they are designed for refined everyday or formal wear, though they will perform best when rotated with other footwear.
What material are these shoes made of?
The Karson series is made from premium leather that is certified by the Leather Working Group.
How do I choose the right size?
The shoes follow standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider the structure of the leather and your personal preference for fit.
Should I waterproof these shoes?
Using a leather-safe water repellent spray can help protect the finish from light rain, but avoid over-saturating the leather.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth, let them air dry naturally away from heat sources, then apply a leather conditioner.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather when new
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften.
Scuffs on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of black shoe polish or cream to the affected area and buff with a soft brush or cloth.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are stiff, or replace them with cotton-core laces which provide better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jones Bootmaker Karson shoes last, proper maintenance is essential. Upon purchase, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension. We recommend using a shoe horn when putting the shoes on to protect the heel structure. For cleaning, use a soft cloth to remove surface dirt and apply a high-quality black shoe cream or wax periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use shoe trees to help the leather retain its original shape between wears.
