FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The round toe design offers a comfortable fit for many, but the fit can vary. As suede is a natural material, it offers some flexibility over time. We recommend trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews for fit feedback regarding width.
How do I clean mud off the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely first. Once dry, gently brush off as much as possible with a suede brush. For remaining stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this purpose, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as water can cause staining and damage to the material. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection, but they are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), which is known for being lightweight, flexible, and durable.
How often should I reapply suede protector?
The frequency depends on wear and exposure to elements. Generally, reapplying every few months, or after cleaning, is a good practice to maintain protection.
What does 'Made in Europe' signify for quality?
Manufacturing in Europe often implies adherence to stringent quality control standards and craftsmanship traditions common in European footwear production.
Can I replace the insole?
The Utti Lace Brogues feature a suede-lined insole for comfort. While not designed for easy removal or replacement by the user, it contributes to the overall comfort. For specific warranty or repair inquiries regarding the insole, please contact the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a suede protector spray beforehand can help prevent future stains.
Fit feels too snug initially
Suede will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in comfortably.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. If persistent, consider a sole protector or a light scuffing of the sole on a rough surface (test in an inconspicuous area first).
