FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Ankle socks or no-show socks are ideal for maintaining a clean look with casual footwear. Classic crew socks also work well with jeans or chinos.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
No, these are designed as casual or smart-casual shoes and are not suitable for formal events.
How do I break in new leather shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing them with thin socks can help speed up the process.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the TR outsole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray if needed.
What does 'TR outsole' mean?
TR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a durable and flexible material commonly used for shoe soles, offering good grip and wear resistance.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them and ensure the knot is secure.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Buff gently to restore shine.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the TR outsole is clean. For persistent issues, consider a shoe repair specialist for alternative sole treatments if available.
