FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While durable, they are made of leather and are not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
How do I keep the grainy texture clean?
Use a soft brush to remove dust from the crevices and apply leather conditioner sparingly to prevent residue buildup.
Is the sole replaceable?
The Finproject Extralight sole is designed for longevity, but consult a professional cobbler regarding repair options for synthetic soles.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they adhere to standard UK adult sizing. If you typically wear a size 10 in dress shoes, this model should fit consistently.
What is the benefit of the wingtip design?
The wingtip design is a classic aesthetic element that provides extra stitching reinforcement along the shoe's seams.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses color
Apply a matching brown leather cream and buff with a soft horsehair brush.
Sole has picked up debris
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the Extralight sole, avoiding abrasive brushes that could tear the lightweight material.
Shoe feels slightly tight initially
Wear them for short periods indoors with thicker socks to gently stretch the leather upper to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Carlton shoes maintain their appearance, use a high-quality leather cream that matches the brown tone to keep the grainy calf leather supple. Avoid harsh chemicals or excess water. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Using shoe trees after each wear is recommended to maintain the shape of the toe box and assist in moisture absorption. For sizing, these shoes are standard UK adult sizes; it is recommended to use your measured foot size, ensuring enough room in the toe box for the wingtip design.
