FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult men.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While leather is durable, it is not waterproof. If they get wet, wipe them down immediately and let them dry naturally away from direct heat.
How often should I polish the leather?
Depending on frequency of wear, polishing every 2-4 weeks helps maintain the color and prevents the leather from drying out.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Rake series features a standard fit. If you have wider feet, the leather will eventually stretch, but they may feel snug during the initial break-in period.
Do these require a specific type of sock?
They pair best with dress socks or invisible 'no-show' socks depending on the desired look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during first wear
Wear them for short periods around the house with medium-thick socks to help the leather gradually stretch and soften.
Leather looks dull after exposure to elements
Clean the surface with a damp cloth, let it dry naturally, and apply a high-quality leather conditioner or black polish.
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure you are using the correct UK size; if slippage persists, consider adding a thin adhesive leather heel grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather shoes, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic appeal. Immediately after purchase, consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against moisture and dirt. When not in use, store the shoes with cedar shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain the original shape. To clean, wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth and use a matching black shoe cream periodically to nourish the leather and cover minor scuffs. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
