FAQs

What type of socks are best with these derbies?

Thin to medium-weight dress socks in complementary colors (like black, charcoal, or navy) are recommended for a polished look and comfortable fit within the shoes.

Can these derbies be worn in wet weather?

While the glazed leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles. Using a leather protector spray can enhance water resistance.

How often should I polish these shoes?

Polish your derbies every few wears or when they start to look dull. More frequent polishing may be needed if they are worn daily or exposed to harsh conditions.

What is the heel made of?

The heel is described as a stacked heel, typically constructed from layers of leather or rubberized materials for durability and support.

Are these shoes suitable for a wide foot?

These derbies feature a standard width. While the open lacing system allows for some adjustment, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.

How do I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is highly recommended to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

What is the difference between glazed leather and other leather types?

Glazed leather has a smooth, shiny, and highly polished surface achieved through a finishing process. It offers a more formal appearance compared to matte or textured leathers but can be more prone to showing scratches.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or scratches on the glazed leather

Use a fine-tip black marker or a matching color shoe cream to lightly fill in the scratch. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be necessary.

Loss of shine

Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a quality shoe wax and buff vigorously with a soft cloth or brush to restore the high gloss finish.

Slightly tight fit

Wear the shoes with thin socks for short periods to allow them to naturally mold to your feet. If the tightness persists, consider using a shoe stretcher designed for leather.

Water spots or stains

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, clean with a soft cloth and re-polish to restore the finish. A leather protector can help prevent future stains.

Care Instructions:
