FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday office wear?

Yes, their durable leather construction and comfortable insole make them an excellent choice for daily office environments.

How should I clean my Loake Derby shoes?

Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Apply a leather-appropriate cream regularly and buff to maintain shine.

Do these shoes run true to size?

These are standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear most frequently.

Can I resole these shoes?

Loake shoes are generally constructed to be high quality; consult with a professional cobbler to determine if the specific sole construction allows for resoling.

What is the best way to store them?

Use cedar shoe trees to maintain the shape of the shoe and help wick away moisture after use.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, they are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid deep puddles and apply a leather protector spray if you live in a rainy climate.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff initially.

This is normal for premium leather. Use a leather conditioner to soften the material and wear them for short durations indoors to break them in gradually.

Scuffs appearing on the surface.

Apply a small amount of matching black leather polish to the affected area, buff it in with a soft cloth, and finish with a clean brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Loake Derby shoes last for years, proper care is essential. Upon first receiving them, ensure you wear them indoors for short periods to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape. For daily care, use a high-quality leather cream or polish in black to maintain the finish and prevent the leather from drying out. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place using cedar shoe trees to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture after a day of wear. Compatibility is best maintained by pairing these with dress socks or formal trousers in charcoal, navy, or black.
