FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday office wear?
Yes, their classic Oxford styling makes them ideal for professional and formal office environments.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they are designed according to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can the insoles be removed?
The shoes feature an integrated PU padded sock designed for comfort; they are not intended to be removed.
How do I maintain the shine on the leather?
Use a standard black shoe polish and a buffing brush regularly to keep the surface polished and protected.
Is the sole repairable?
The rubber sole is stitched for durability, which generally allows for easier repair or resoling by a professional cobbler compared to glued soles.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather provides some natural resistance, they are not classified as waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray if you expect to encounter heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff when new
This is normal for leather footwear; wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the material.
Scuffs on the toe cap
Apply a small amount of black shoe polish to the affected area and buff with a soft brush or cloth.
Slippery soles
Scuff the bottom of the soles slightly on concrete or use a specialized anti-slip spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Grafters Capped Oxford shoes last as long as possible, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can crack the leather.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt with a soft, damp cloth after each use.
- Maintenance: Regularly apply a high-quality leather cream or polish to keep the leather supple and maintain the black finish.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct thickness of socks during your first few wears to facilitate a comfortable break-in process.
- Storage: Use shoe trees to help the shoes maintain their structural shape when not in use.
