These shoes are listed in UK adult male sizing. Nike typically runs true to size for casual wear, but if you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a size guide. This specific product is UK 11.

The leather upper offers some resistance, but it's not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray for enhanced water resistance and avoiding heavy rain to preserve the material.

A quick wipe-down after each wear is beneficial. A more thorough cleaning and conditioning should be done every few weeks or months, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to.

The wider toe box provides comfort with various sock types. For optimal comfort and moisture wicking, consider wearing athletic or lifestyle socks made from cotton blends or synthetic materials.

Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and a small amount of water to gently scrub the affected areas. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.

The leather may need a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house before extended outings. Leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

While the re-engineered upper resists creasing, proper storage is key. Use shoe trees when not wearing them and avoid excessive bending or improper storage. Regular conditioning can also help maintain leather flexibility.

Clean the herringbone outsole thoroughly using a stiff brush and warm water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be impacting grip.
