FAQs
What type of leather is used for the 'Beko' Derbies?
The 'Beko' Derbies are crafted from premium perforated embossed nubuck or leather, offering a distinct texture and refined appearance.
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and nubuck materials are best suited for dry conditions. Water-repellent sprays can offer some protection, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK men's shoe sizing charts. It is recommended to try them on if possible or measure your foot length from heel to toe for accuracy.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, the contrasting waxed laces can be replaced with standard dress shoe laces of a similar length if needed.
What is the sole made of?
The 'Beko' Derbies feature a durable rubber sole, providing good traction and wear resistance.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh conditions, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
Can I wear these with a suit?
These Derbies are ideal for business casual or smart casual attire. For very formal suits, a more traditional oxford shoe might be preferred, but they can work for less formal suit occasions.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Avoid excessive heat.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with similar waxed or standard dress laces. Consider purchasing spare laces.
Soles showing signs of wear
Consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement if the wear is significant.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
Use a leather cleaner and appropriate color polish or balm to conceal minor scuffs. For nubuck, use a nubuck eraser.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For nubuck, a specialized nubuck cleaner and brush may be necessary.
