FAQs
What is the primary material of the Charmouth Lace shoe?
The primary upper material is nubuck, with a suede lining and sock for added comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they offer good comfort for everyday wear, the slim rubber sole provides moderate cushioning. They are best suited for moderate walking rather than extensive long-distance treks.
How do I clean the nubuck upper?
Use a suede brush or dry cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow its instructions carefully, testing first on a hidden area.
What type of sole do these shoes have?
They feature a TR (thermoplastic rubber) outsole, which is known for being flexible, durable, and lightweight.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Nubuck and suede are not ideal for wet conditions. It is recommended to protect the shoes from excessive moisture to maintain their appearance and material integrity.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 1.5 cm.
How are the leather laces different from regular laces?
Leather laces provide a more premium look and feel, complementing the shoe's heritage design. They offer a secure fit and can be adjusted for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Nubuck and leather can require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Discoloration on nubuck or suede
Use a suede brush to try and lift the mark. For persistent stains, consult a nubuck/suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Gently trim any frayed ends with sharp scissors. Consider replacing the laces if they are significantly damaged.
Slight odor
Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear. Use a shoe deodorizer or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
