FAQs
What type of socks are best with these Oxfords?
Thin dress socks made of wool, cotton, or a blend are recommended to maintain a formal look and provide comfort.
How often should I polish these shoes?
Polish them as needed to maintain shine, typically every few weeks or after significant wear, especially after cleaning or conditioning.
Can I wear these shoes in light rain?
While the leather is durable, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly and condition them afterwards.
What is the difference between a Derby and an Oxford shoe?
The Edison is a Derby, characterized by its open lacing system (quarters attached on top of the vamp), which offers a slightly more relaxed fit compared to a traditional Oxford's closed lacing.
Are these shoes suitable for business casual attire?
While primarily designed for formal wear, they can complement sophisticated business casual outfits, especially when paired with tailored trousers or chinos.
What does 'three-eyelet' mean?
It refers to the number of pairs of eyelets (holes for laces) on each side of the shoe's lacing system, indicating a streamlined design.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure consistent care.
Scuff marks on the leather
Use a color-matched shoe polish to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be needed.
Shoes lose their shape
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's original form and absorb excess moisture.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
