FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Tapa Edge Y has a classic loafer fit. While they are not specifically designed for wide feet, the leather upper will naturally mold to the foot over time. If wide feet are a concern, it's advisable to try them on if possible.

How effective is the Microban odor control?

Microban is an antimicrobial technology that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. It helps to keep the shoes feeling fresher for longer during normal wear.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet weather to protect the leather.

What is the main benefit of the flexible sole?

The slim, flexible sole allows for natural foot movement, providing comfort and support for walking and everyday activities without restricting the foot.

How should I clean the inside of the shoes?

The inside is lined with textile and features Microban technology. A gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid soaking the interior.

Is the leather upper real leather?

Yes, the product description states the upper is made of durable leather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If between sizes, consider the next size up, especially if thick socks are typically worn. Allow a short break-in period as the leather will soften.

Leather scuffs or marks appear

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or balm can help restore the finish.

Difficulty slipping foot in

Ensure the 'cats tongue' heel material is positioned correctly inside the shoe. Loosen any laces if applicable (though this model is slip-on) and ensure the foot is entering straight into the shoe.
