FAQs

What type of leather is used in the BEKO shoes?

The BEKO shoes are crafted from perforated embossed nubuck or leather, providing a premium feel and distinctive texture.

Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

These shoes are best described as smart-casual. While they can elevate a less formal suit or paired with smart trousers, they are generally not recommended for highly formal occasions like black-tie events.

How should I clean the nubuck parts of the shoe?

For nubuck, use a dedicated nubuck brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using water excessively.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a waterproof spray suitable for leather and nubuck.

How do I choose the right size?

The BEKO shoes are available in UK men's sizes. Refer to standard UK sizing charts for men's footwear. This guide refers to a UK size 9.

What is the difference between Gibson and Derby shoes?

Gibson shoes are a type of Derby shoe characterized by their closed lacing system where the shoelace eyelets are sewn underneath the vamp. This often gives them a sleeker appearance than open-laced Derby shoes.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the BEKO model is available in other colors, such as brown, as indicated by the product's variant siblings. Please check other listings for available color options.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine. Ensure regular conditioning.

Scuff marks on the leather

For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or a colored shoe polish that matches the blue shade. For deeper marks, professional shoe repair may be needed.

Rubber sole feels slippery

Ensure the sole is clean. If the slipperiness persists after cleaning, the rubber may have worn down, and replacement might be considered if possible.

Laces fraying

Replace frayed waxed laces with new ones of a similar style and length to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
