FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday office wear?

Yes, the Karson is designed as a versatile low shoe that fits perfectly within business-casual and formal office dress codes.

How do I determine the correct size?

The Karson shoes follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your typical size, keeping in mind that leather can slightly expand and adapt to your foot over time.

Are the soles replaceable?

While the shoes are built for durability, we recommend consulting a professional cobbler if you feel the sole requires replacement or refurbishment.

What is the benefit of the Leather Working Group certification?

This certification ensures that the leather used in your shoes has been produced by manufacturers that prioritize environmentally friendly and sustainable practices.

Can I use these shoes in wet weather?

While durable, leather is a natural material. Avoid heavy rain and if they do get soaked, dry them slowly at room temperature.

How often should I polish the leather?

To maintain a deep luster and protect the material, polish your shoes every 5-10 wears or whenever the leather appears dull.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff on the first wear

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the material.

Leather surface shows scuffs

Apply a small amount of black leather shoe polish or wax and buff with a soft cloth to restore the shine.

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are not coated in residue from previous cleaning agents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and professional aesthetic
  • Environmentally conscious material sourcing
  • Versatile design suitable for multiple occasions
  • Durable construction ensures longevity

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period typical of leather shoes
  • Limited to formal or smart-casual style palettes
  • Leather requires regular maintenance to stay in top condition

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karson shoes remain in excellent condition, begin by using a shoe horn to prevent damage to the heel counter when putting them on. Since these are leather shoes, it is important to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water, which can degrade the finish. Use a quality leather cream or polish to keep the material hydrated and free from cracks. For storage, use cedar shoe trees to maintain the shape of the shoe and absorb excess moisture after a day of wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to dry out and stiffen.
