FAQs
What is the primary material of these shoes?
The Oswin Hyde Edison - Brown - Size: 13 shoes are handcrafted with premium leather.
What type of occasions are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for dressy occasions such as weddings, formal events, and a professional office environment.
How should I clean the leather on these shoes?
Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and let them air dry. Regular conditioning is also recommended.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is premium, it's advisable to use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to protect the material.
What does 'three-eyelet Derby' mean?
It refers to the style of the shoe, which features three pairs of eyelets for lacing, characteristic of a Derby shoe design known for its open lacing system.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoe offers a standard fit. While the open lacing of a Derby can offer some adjustability, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the difference between this and an Oxford shoe?
The main difference lies in the lacing system. Derbies have an open lacing system (the shoelace eyelet flaps are sewn on top of the vamp), while Oxfords have a closed lacing system (the eyelet flaps are sewn underneath the vamp), giving Oxfords a sleeker appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, consider using thin insoles or professional stretching services.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner and then a matching brown shoe polish to restore moisture and shine. Ensure the shoes are clean before applying products.
Laces fray or break
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Many shoe repair shops offer replacement laces.
Scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth or a leather eraser. For deeper scuffs, use a colored shoe polish that matches the shoe's color.

Care:
To maintain the premium leather and extend the life of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- Conditioning: Apply a small amount of leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a neutral or brown shoe polish to restore color and shine.
- Protection: Use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather before wearing in wet conditions, and reapply as needed.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
