FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
For professional settings, opt for dark dress socks that match your trousers or shoes. For smart-casual wear, fine-gauge wool or cotton socks in complementary colours work well.
How should I choose my size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by the brand. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. Consider the width of your foot and compare to standard UK sizing.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these are primarily dress shoes. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are properly dried and conditioned after any exposure to moisture.
What is the difference between a Derby and an Oxford shoe?
Derby shoes feature an open lacing system where the eyelet facings are sewn on top of the vamp, while Oxford shoes have a closed lacing system with the eyelet facings sewn underneath the vamp, generally considered more formal.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or if the leather appears dry.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify width options. Standard UK sizing applies. If you have wider feet, it's best to try them on to assess the fit or consult with a shoe specialist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to naturally mold to your feet. Consider using high-quality socks during the break-in period.
Scuff marks appearing
Use a matching coloured shoe polish to cover minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a leather repair kit may be necessary.
Water spots on leather
Allow shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore the material and prevent water damage.
