FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather is durable and water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep puddles.
Do I need to treat the leather before wearing?
It is not strictly necessary, but applying a leather protector can help guard against moisture and dirt from the first day.
How do I find my size?
The Durrow 5I uses standard UK sizing for adult males. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up and using an insole for a perfect fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles can be removed and replaced with orthotic or cushioned inserts if you require additional arch support.
Are these suitable for formal events?
Yes, their sleek, low-profile design and polished leather finish make them appropriate for most formal and business-casual settings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during first wear
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to help the leather soften.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the waxed laces feel slippery, or replace with standard cotton laces if preferred.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather
Use a matching black shoe polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Durrow 5I shoes, start by ensuring you have the correct UK size fit. Since they are made of genuine leather, they will naturally mold to your feet over the first few days of wear. Avoid submerging them in water, and if they get wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators. For cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a shoe cream or wax polish to keep the black finish vibrant. Keep the waxed laces clean to maintain the crisp, professional aesthetic.
