FAQs

What is Opanka construction?

Opanka construction is a traditional handcrafted method where the upper is stitched directly to the sole, often with a flexible stitch. This results in shoes that are exceptionally flexible, comfortable, and lightweight.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided. Givenchy shoes are listed in UK sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Since these are leather shoes, a snug but not tight fit is generally preferred, allowing for slight expansion with wear.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, calf leather is susceptible to water damage. It is advisable to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Clean and condition them promptly after exposure to moisture.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are worn often or exposed to harsh conditions. This helps maintain the leather's moisture and prevents cracking.

What is included with the purchase?

The shoes come complete with a branded shoe box for storage and a dust bag to protect them when not in use.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

While designed for durability, the premium calf leather and sophisticated style are best suited for formal occasions, business settings, or smart-casual events. For very rugged daily use, a more robust shoe might be preferable.

Can the insole be replaced if needed?

The leather insole is glued in place. While not designed for easy user replacement, a cobbler may be able to replace it or add an additional insole if desired for extra cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

The Opanka construction may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short intervals initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure correct sizing; if still uncomfortable, consider professional shoe stretching.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for calf leather. Ensure you are not over-cleaning the shoes, as this can strip natural oils. Follow with a leather polish for added shine.

Soles show signs of wear

As the rubber sole wears down, consider having them professionally resoled by a cobbler to extend the life of the shoes.

Laces fray or break

Replace with new, high-quality shoelaces of a similar material and length. Consider waxed cotton laces for a more formal appearance.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.

  • Storage: Store the shoes in the provided dust bag to protect them from dust and scratches. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
  • Shining: Use a matching color shoe polish and a soft brush to buff the leather and restore shine. Address scuffs with appropriate polish.
