FAQs

What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?

It means the leather used has been produced in a facility that meets high environmental standards as audited by the Leather Working Group, ensuring responsible leather manufacturing.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are primarily designed for dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, more specialized waterproof footwear is recommended.

How should I break in these slip-ons?

These slip-ons are designed for immediate comfort. Wear them around the house for a few hours at a time to allow them to mold to your feet. If any discomfort persists, consider wearing them with thin socks.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, you can wear them with thin socks or socklets. For a classic slip-on look, many prefer to wear them barefoot, especially given the comfortable leather lining.

What is the difference between these slip-ons and sandals?

Slip-ons are fully enclosed shoes that you slide your foot into, offering more structure and protection than sandals, which typically have straps and open designs.

How do I find my correct UK size?

Refer to the Jones Bootmaker sizing chart available on their website or in-store. Generally, ensure there is a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose, allowing for natural foot movement.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a good quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.

Minor scuffs on the leather

For light scuffs, a leather balm or cream in a matching color can often help to conceal them. For deeper scuffs, professional repair might be necessary.

Slight odor inside the shoe

Ensure the shoes are completely dry. You can use shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight and then vacuum it out, or use a commercial shoe deodorizer.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
