Kerridge Oxford Brogues - Loake - Brown - Size 6

The 'F fitting' indicates a standard width for men's footwear. It is designed to accommodate a typical foot shape. If you usually require a wider fit (e.g., G or H fitting), these might feel snug.

The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be a small amount of space at the toe, and your heel should not lift excessively when walking. It's best to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger.

The Goodyear Welted construction offers some water resistance. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Proper care and the application of a waterproofing spray can enhance their protection against moisture.

Polish the shoes after every few wears, or when they start to look dull. Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions, to keep the leather supple.

A Goodyear Welted sole is a durable construction method that attaches the upper to the sole via a strip of leather (the welt). It provides excellent water resistance, flexibility, and allows the shoe to be resoled multiple times, significantly extending its lifespan.

Thin to medium-weight dress socks made of wool, cotton blends, or silk are ideal. Ensure they are the correct color to complement your outfit.

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching, especially if you have wider feet.

Apply a leather conditioner to moisturize the leather. Follow up with a good quality brown shoe polish to restore shine and color.

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, apply a matching color shoe cream or polish to fill and conceal the mark, then buff to a shine.

Due to the Goodyear Welt construction, the soles can be replaced by a qualified cobbler. This allows for extended wear and maintenance of the shoe's structure.
