FAQs

What is the main benefit of the EVA sole technology?

The EVA sole technology makes the shoes exceptionally lightweight, providing a 'feather-light' feel and reducing fatigue during wear.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of genuine leather, ensuring durability and a classic appearance.

Can these shoes be worn for formal occasions?

Yes, the classic British brogue design makes them suitable for smart-casual and semi-formal occasions when paired appropriately with attire.

How should I care for the leather upper?

Wipe with a damp cloth, use a mild leather cleaner for dirt, apply leather conditioner periodically, and use a matching shoe polish to maintain appearance.

What is the heel height of these shoes?

The heel height is 0mm, meaning they have a flat sole.

Are these shoes available in other colors or sizes?

This guide focuses on the brown, size 5.5 variant. Please refer to product listings for available colors and sizes.

What is the lining made of?

The lining is a combination of leather and textile materials for breathability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the standard fit is appropriate for your foot width, or try a different size from the available range.

Leather appears dry or scuffed.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Use a matching brown shoe polish to cover scuffs and restore color. Buff gently with a soft cloth.

Slight discomfort after extended wear.

Ensure the shoes fit correctly. For initial wear, break them in gradually. If discomfort persists, consider using insoles for added cushioning or support, though this may slightly alter the fit.

Soles are dirty.

Wipe the EVA soles clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the sole material.
