Product Information
Full details
These grey leather Brogue Derby Shoes from Jones Bootmaker, part of the LondonCity2 series, are designed for adult males seeking sophisticated footwear for both sharp suits and smart-casual occasions. They offer exceptional comfort akin to trainers, thanks to a full leather interior and soft footbed, built upon an ultra-lightweight contrast outsole. A key consideration is that while versatile, the smooth leather finish requires specific care to maintain its appearance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average width feet. Adjusting the laces can provide some flexibility, but for significantly wide feet, a different style might be more comfortable.
How do I maintain the grey leather finish?
Clean with a damp cloth, condition with a leather conditioner, and use a grey or neutral shoe polish to cover minor scuffs and maintain color. A waterproofing spray can add protection.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are primarily dress shoes. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What is the difference between LondonCity and LondonCity2?
The LondonCity2 series generally features an updated, ultra-lightweight contrast outsole compared to earlier models, enhancing comfort and modern aesthetics.
What socks should I wear with these shoes?
Thin to medium-weight dress socks or smart casual socks made of wool, cotton, or a blend are recommended to complement the shoe's style and ensure comfort.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, these high-quality leather shoes are designed for longevity, offering several years of wear for typical use.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather upon first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Use a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Scuff marks on smooth leather
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a matching grey or neutral leather polish and a clean cloth.
Slightly loose fit
Adjust the lacing to tighten the fit. Consider using insoles or thicker socks if the fit remains too loose.

Care Instructions:
