FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Vagabond Shoemakers typically follow standard European sizing; if you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. It is best to apply a water-repellent spray and avoid submerging them in deep puddles.
How do I keep the black leather looking deep in color?
Regularly applying a black leather cream will help nourish the leather and maintain its rich, saturated color.
Is the material genuine leather?
Yes, the VALENCE model is crafted using quality leather materials.
Can I use an insert or orthotic with this shoe?
Yes, provided the insert is thin enough to maintain the internal volume of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon initial wear
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods with thick socks to gently soften the leather fibers.
Minor scuffs appearing on the surface
Use a black leather polish or cream that matches the tone to buff out minor abrasions.
Insole comfort decreases over time
Consider adding a slim, third-party ergonomic insole if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your VALENCE shoes maintain their appearance, apply a leather protector spray before the first use to guard against moisture and dirt. For regular cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. It is recommended to use a shoe tree when the shoes are not being worn to help retain the original shape and prevent excessive creasing in the leather. For leather conditioning, use a high-quality leather cream every few months to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
