FAQs
What material is the Aldwin Lace Oxford made from?
The Aldwin Lace Oxford features a leather rand with stitch details and a durable thermoplastic rubber (TR) outsole.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The lace-up fastening allows for a secure, custom fit. It is recommended to try the shoes on to ensure they match your typical UK size, as fit can vary slightly between brands.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the TR outsole offers some grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can I wear these shoes for long periods?
Yes, the design prioritizes comfort for daily wear. However, as with any new footwear, a break-in period may be beneficial for optimal comfort during extended use.
How should I clean the grey leather?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to condition the leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner, testing on a small area first.
What is the purpose of the heel loop?
The heel loop is designed to assist you in easily pulling the shoes on and off your feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff on first wear.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Laces are difficult to adjust for a perfect fit.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Try lacing them from the bottom up, pulling evenly on both sides. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with a fresh pair.
Outsole appears worn or damaged.
Inspect the outsole for significant cracks or missing pieces. Minor wear is normal, but if damage affects grip or stability, it may be time to consider replacement.
Color appears uneven or faded.
This could be due to sun exposure or improper cleaning. Try using a grey shoe polish or cream to even out the color. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
