FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Jones Bootmaker Brussels series follows standard UK sizing. Ensure you measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.

Can I replace the sole if it wears out?

Yes, because these feature Goodyear welted construction, a professional cobbler can easily remove the old sole and stitch on a new one.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

For professional wear, thin cotton or merino wool dress socks are recommended to allow the leather lining to breathe effectively.

How often should I polish my leather shoes?

Depending on frequency of wear, polishing every 5 to 10 wears helps keep the leather moisturized and protected against scuffs.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

While they are durable, they are not waterproof. If exposed to heavy rain, wipe them down immediately and let them dry naturally with shoe trees inserted.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them around the house with thick socks for short periods to break in the uppers.

Soles are slippery on tiled floors

The soles will gain traction as they scuff with wear. You can also lightly sand the bottom of the soles with fine-grit sandpaper to add grip immediately.

Leather looks dull after heavy use

Apply a leather conditioning cream followed by a wax polish of the matching brown shade, then buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural luster.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable Goodyear welted construction allows for professional repairs
  • Sophisticated and timeless aesthetic suitable for multiple formal settings
  • Breathable leather lining enhances interior comfort
  • High-quality materials ensure long-term wear

Cons

  • Leather uppers require a break-in period to soften
  • Limited to formal or smart-casual wear
  • Leather soles may be slippery on smooth indoor surfaces before scuffing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Brussels shoes last for years, follow these maintenance protocols:

  1. Break-in: Wear your shoes for short intervals indoors during the first week to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft horsehair brush to remove surface dust after each wear. Apply a high-quality brown leather cream periodically to nourish the material and maintain its suppleness.
  3. Storage: Always store your shoes with wooden cedar shoe trees when not in use; this helps maintain the shape and absorbs moisture from the lining.
  4. Weather Protection: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air-dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
