FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but keep in mind that the leather will stretch slightly over time.
Can I use these for outdoor hiking?
While durable and slip-resistant, these are designed as casual lifestyle shoes and are not intended for rugged trail hiking.
How often should I condition the leather?
Depending on how frequently you wear them, applying Wonder Balsam every few months is usually sufficient to keep the leather supple.
Is the sole non-marking?
The chunky rubber sole is designed to be oil and abrasion-resistant, providing excellent grip without leaving residue on standard indoor flooring.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed for the shoe, but if you require specific orthotics, they can typically be swapped if they fit the internal volume of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during first wear
This is normal for leather; try wearing them for short periods at home or use a leather softener to help speed up the process.
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure the laces are tied securely using the three-eyelet system; consider using a thin heel grip if the size feels slightly loose.
Surface scuffs appearing
Apply a small amount of polish or Wonder Balsam to the affected area to buff out scuffs and restore the shine.
