Full details
The Base London Koko is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, smart-casual shoe that prioritizes comfort. Its key benefit lies in the combination of soft suede and a cushioned insole, making it suitable for extended wear. A potential caveat for some users might be the 5mm heel height, which offers a subtle lift but may not be sufficient for those seeking significant elevation. This Moccasin-style shoe features a leather upper, textile lining, and a TR sole, offering a durable and stylish option for various occasions.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of suitable length and color. Ensure the new laces are tied securely.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-weight socks for a few hours each day to allow the suede to stretch slightly and conform to your foot shape. Ensure the laces are not over-tightened.
Slight water staining
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Future protection with a suede spray is recommended.
