FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Derby style typically offers a more accommodating fit due to its open lacing system. However, fit can vary. It's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort.
How often should I polish these shoes?
Polish your shoes every few wears or when they start to look dull. It's also advisable to polish them after cleaning and conditioning the leather.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather.
What is the difference between Derby and Oxford shoes?
The main difference lies in the lacing system. Derby shoes have an open lacing system (where the eyelet facings are sewn on top of the vamp), while Oxford shoes have a closed lacing system (where the eyelet facings are sewn underneath the vamp).
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Refer to the size chart provided by Boss. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to size up for leather shoes that may stretch slightly, or down if they tend to run large. Trying them on is the best approach.
Do these shoes come with shoe trees?
Shoe trees are typically sold separately and are recommended for maintaining the shape of your shoes when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. Consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching if needed.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Clean the shoes thoroughly with a leather cleaner, then apply a good quality leather conditioner and a matching brown shoe polish to restore moisture and colour.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Consider having rubber sole protectors or traction pads added by a cobbler for improved grip, especially if you frequently encounter smooth or wet surfaces.
