Full details
The Roderick Leather Slip-Ons in Black Grain are designed for adult males seeking a refined yet comfortable footwear option for everyday smart style.

FAQs
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
This certification indicates that the leather used has been sourced from tanneries that adhere to high environmental standards, focusing on responsible water usage, energy consumption, and waste management.
How do I determine the correct UK size for these shoes?
The product is listed as 'Size 6' which refers to the UK adult foot sizing. It is recommended to check Jones Bootmaker's official size chart for precise measurements and conversions if needed.
Can these slip-ons be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is of high quality, these slip-ons are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to protect them with a suitable waterproofing spray for leather.
What type of socks are best to wear with these slip-ons?
Thin to medium-weight dress socks or no-show socks are generally recommended to maintain the sleek profile of the shoe and ensure comfort. Avoid very thick socks which may make the fit too tight.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and climate, but conditioning every 3-6 months is a good general guideline. If the leather feels dry or stiff, condition it sooner.
Are these slip-ons suitable for formal events?
They are best suited for smart-casual occasions. For very formal events like black-tie affairs, more formal footwear options would be appropriate.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for information on exchanges or returns due to incorrect sizing. Typically, items must be in unworn condition.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try rubbing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner or a colored shoe polish that matches the 'Black Grain' color and buff with a soft brush.
Slipping sensation during wear
Ensure socks are appropriate for the shoe and consider using insoles for a snugger fit. Check if the size is correct, as a slightly larger size can cause slipping.
Water spots on the leather
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner and consider a waterproofing spray for future protection.
