Product Information
Full details
The Frank Wright Keetley is an ideal choice for the adult male seeking a versatile, professional-looking derby shoe that transitions effortlessly from the office to formal evening events. Crafted with premium leather and featuring a classic lace-up design, this shoe balances traditional aesthetics with modern comfort; however, users should note that as a standard-fit leather shoe, it requires a brief break-in period to reach optimal flexibility.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Keetley features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them restrictive and might need to size up or seek a specific wide-width alternative.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray if you frequently walk in damp conditions.
What is the best way to polish these shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove dust, apply a small amount of black leather polish, and buff in circular motions with a clean cloth.
Is the sole replaceable?
The Keetley features a synthetic sole bonded to the upper, which is generally not intended to be resoled by a cobbler in the same way as traditional welted footwear.
Are these true to size?
Yes, the Keetley generally runs true to standard UK sizing for adult male footwear.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff during first wear
Wear the shoes in short intervals indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and conform to your foot shape.
Scuffs appearing on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the original sheen.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Double-knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if the factory-provided set proves too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Keetley features a traditional lace-up system, ensure you adjust the tension across the bridge of your foot to allow for natural movement. For care, use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. It is recommended to apply a high-quality leather conditioner or neutral cream periodically to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and utilize a shoe tree if possible to help the leather maintain its shape during periods of inactivity.
