FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Brighton series uses a comfort last designed for natural foot shape, but since the construction is premium leather, they will offer some natural give over time.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are integrated into the design, but because the interior is chrome-free, they are designed to be worn comfortably even if you decide to add your own thin orthotic insert.
What does 360 degree stitching mean?
It means the upper part of the shoe is sewn directly to the sole around the entire perimeter, which is a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship and prevents sole separation.
How do I determine if I have the right size?
Your heel should remain firmly in the cup when walking, and there should be roughly a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are the shoes waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you plan to wear them in rainy conditions.
How high is the heel exactly?
The wedge heel measures 40mm, which provides a comfortable lift that is distributed across the foot for better stability than a standard stiletto.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness when wearing for the first time
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are new and slightly waxed, or replace them with cotton-based laces for more grip.
Scuffing on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of black shoe cream to the affected area and buff with a soft cloth to restore the pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon receiving your shoes, ensure the laces are loosened entirely before your first try-on to allow your foot to seat properly into the comfort last. Adjust the tension starting from the bottom eyelets toward the top to achieve a snug but comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These shoes pair well with both professional slacks and casual denim, fitting seamlessly into a smart-casual wardrobe. The UK 7.5 size is standard, but the leather will stretch slightly to contour to your foot over the first few wears.
Care: To preserve the leather, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove city dust or road grime. Use a high-quality leather cream or polish specifically for black leather to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
