FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Craft Remi Lace generally offers a standard fit. While the leather will break in, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug initially. Trying them on is recommended.

How do I clean the hand-finished leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner is advised. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Can I replace the EVA footbed?

Yes, the EVA footbed is removable, allowing you to insert your own preferred insoles or orthotics for personalized comfort and support.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a breathable dust bag to help maintain their shape and protect the leather.

How durable is the leather on these shoes?

The premium, hand-finished leather is chosen for its durability and ability to age gracefully. With proper care, these shoes are designed for long-term wear.

What occasions are these shoes best suited for?

These Derby shoes are highly versatile, suitable for business attire, smart-casual events, formal gatherings, and everyday wear when a polished look is desired.

Troubleshooting

Slight tightness upon initial wear

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Consider using thicker socks during the initial break-in period.

Leather scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, try buffing the area with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a colored shoe polish that matches the shoe's black finish. Apply sparingly and buff to blend.

Foot discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the removable EVA footbed is properly seated. If the discomfort persists, consider using a different type of insole or ensure the shoe's size is correct for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you try them on indoors to confirm the fit before wearing them outside.

Compatibility: The Craft Remi Lace is a traditional men's shoe, compatible with formal trousers, chinos, and smart-casual wear. The removable footbed allows for the use of custom or standard insoles if preferred.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specific leather cleaner designed for finished leather.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Protection: Use a protective spray suitable for leather to guard against water and stains.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag, to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
