FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up derby design allows for significant adjustability, making them accommodating for most foot widths.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a size 12, the size 12 Keetley should provide a consistent fit.
Can I resole these shoes?
While the construction is durable, we recommend consulting a professional cobbler if you wish to extend the life of the sole through repairs.
Are the shoes water-resistant?
While leather is naturally resistant to light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain.
What is the heel height?
The Keetley model features a heel height of approximately 2.5 cm.
What colors are available?
The Keetley series is available in classic black and brown leather finishes.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness during the first few wears
Use a leather conditioner to soften the material and wear them for short durations before full-day use.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Gently buff the area with a matching shoe polish and a soft cloth to blend the mark into the finish.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are properly threaded through the eyelets for consistent tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your new shoes for short periods indoors first to allow the leather to naturally adapt to the shape of your feet.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Cleaning: Use a dry cloth to remove surface dust after each wear. Apply a high-quality leather cream or polish occasionally to nourish the material and restore its shine.
- Weatherproofing: Consider using a leather protector spray to offer a thin barrier against moisture, though avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your desired tension to secure the heel properly, which helps prevent premature wear on the interior lining.
