FAQs

What is the 'Protection Pack' feature?

The 'Protection Pack' refers to a design aesthetic characterized by distinct, often layered or 'torn' looking suede or leather overlays, giving the shoe a rugged, deconstructed appearance while still utilizing quality materials.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 2002R series is inspired by running shoes and offers good cushioning, the 'Protection Pack' models are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear sneakers. They are not optimized for high-performance athletic running.

How do I clean the suede/leather overlays?

Use a specialized suede brush for suede areas and a soft brush or damp cloth for leather. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What sizes are available?

These shoes are available in various UK adult men's sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size availability, such as UK 6 as indicated for this model.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is advisable to use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and suede to enhance resistance against moisture and stains, especially if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.

What is the material of the shoe?

The shoe is primarily made of leather, featuring the distinctive 'Protection Pack' design elements which may include suede or nubuck overlays.

What is the closure type?

The shoe features a traditional lacing closure system for a secure and adjustable fit.

Troubleshooting

Laces loosening during wear

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. If the lace material is smooth, consider re-lacing them with a different pattern or using lace locks.

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather over time. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the correct size is being worn. If discomfort persists, check lacing tightness and sock thickness.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and high-quality leather materials.
  • Unique and eye-catching 'Protection Pack' design elements.
  • Comfortable for extended wear, suitable for daily activities.
  • Versatile black colorway pairs well with various outfits.
  • Secure and adjustable lacing system.

Cons

  • The distinctive design may not appeal to minimalists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As a footwear product, there is no technical setup required. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard adult foot sizes. The lacing closure system is compatible with most ankle types, allowing for a customizable fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially given the 'Protection Pack' designation.
