FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday business wear?

Yes, the Connell Oxford is specifically designed as a formal/business shoe, making it perfect for daily office use.

What is the benefit of LWG-certified leather?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification ensures the leather is produced in an environmentally responsible manner with a focus on sustainable manufacturing practices.

Should I wear these in rainy weather?

While the shoes are durable, it is best to avoid heavy rain as leather is a natural material that can be damaged by excessive moisture.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

The Connell range is available in half sizes, which helps in finding a precise fit. We recommend measuring your foot in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest for the most accurate fit.

Do I need to polish them immediately upon purchase?

It is not strictly necessary, but a light application of neutral or black polish can provide an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first wear

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your feet over time. Wear them with thin socks for short periods at home to gently break them in.

Scuffs appearing on the leather surface

Use a matching black leather polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the original shine of the shoe.

Leather becoming stiff or dry

Apply a quality leather conditioner to replenish essential oils and maintain the flexibility of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Jones Bootmaker Connell shoes remain in peak condition, proper care is essential.

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt after each wear.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Storage: Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and absorb internal moisture.
  5. Compatibility: These shoes are designed for formal and business dress codes. They are not recommended for heavy outdoor use or inclement weather conditions without protective treatments.
