FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
These shoes are designed for casual urban walking and daily commutes, not for rigorous hiking or uneven, rocky terrain.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes feature a standard construction; while insoles may be removable, we recommend using thin, supportive inserts to avoid overcrowding the shoe.
How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts?
Regularly cleaning the leather and applying a dedicated leather waterproofing spray will help maintain the effectiveness of the Mirtex membrane.
Are they true to size?
Yes, these shoes are manufactured to standard UK sizing for a comfortable, reliable fit.
Can I wear them in the snow?
While they are waterproof against rain, they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures or deep snow accumulation.
Troubleshooting
Strap loses adhesion over time
Use a small brush or tweezers to remove lint and debris from the hook-and-loop fastener to restore grip.
Leather looks dull or loses luster
Gently clean with a damp cloth and apply a neutral or brown leather cream to nourish the material.
