FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?

Yes, the air-cushioned BEN sole is designed for comfort, though the break-in period is recommended before attempting long walks.

How do I clean the Crazy Horse leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using standard polish, as it can alter the natural finish of the waxy leather.

What is the sizing like for the Lowell model?

These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to use an insole for a tighter fit.

Is the leather waterproof?

While the heavy leather provides protection, it is not strictly waterproof. Use a leather-appropriate water protector spray if you plan on wearing them in wet conditions.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can remove the standard footbed and replace it with your own orthotic or cushioned insoles if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness when first worn

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors with thick socks to soften the material gradually.

Scuffs appearing on the leather

Scuffs are expected with Crazy Horse leather. You can buff them out with a dry cloth or apply a specialized leather wax to maintain a uniform look.

Dirt buildup in the sole cleats

Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove debris or mud from the deep tread pattern of the BEN sole after outdoor use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, heavyweight Crazy Horse leather exterior
  • Excellent traction provided by the BEN sole's deep cleats
  • Padded collar offers enhanced ankle comfort
  • Iconic archival workwear aesthetic
  • Resilient construction suitable for daily wear

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period common with high-quality leather
  • Heavier feel due to the robust sole and leather thickness
  • Leather surface shows scuffs and marks more readily than treated smooth leather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Lowell shoes last, proper maintenance is essential. Because they use Crazy Horse leather, avoid harsh detergents that may strip the natural oils. Instead, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To maintain the leather's texture and integrity, periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for oiled or waxy leathers. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing socks of an appropriate thickness during the first few days of wear to protect your heels while the leather softens and conforms to your foot shape.
