FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the sealed construction offers protection against light rain, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

Does the size 12 fit true to size?

Yes, these follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult men's footwear.

Can I remove the insoles?

The interior is designed as part of the sealed construction, so it is recommended to keep the original insoles in place.

How do I clean the rubber outsoles?

A soft-bristle brush and warm soapy water are sufficient to remove dirt from the textured tread.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Beetle series is known for its flexible leather upper, which tends to adapt well to various foot shapes, including slightly wider ones.

What is the best way to store the shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and use shoe trees if possible to maintain the structure.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface appearing dull

Apply a small amount of leather cream or polish to restore moisture and shine.

Slippery outsoles

Wipe the rubber tread with a damp cloth to remove accumulated grit or debris.

Loss of flexibility

Ensure the shoes are stored in a dry place away from direct heat sources which can cause the leather and sealed seams to stiffen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these trainers arrive ready to wear, no mechanical setup is required. For best results, use a shoehorn when putting them on to protect the heel counter and preserve the shoe's shape. To care for the black leather, wipe away dust with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying or cracking. Since these are a UK size 12, ensure a proper fit by wearing socks of your preferred thickness during initial trials to verify comfort.
