FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Kleman Major VP Oak 2 are not inherently waterproof. While the leather and rubber offer some protection, they are best worn in dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the materials.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart or compare with your usual shoe size. The provided UK size is based on standard measurements, but slight variations can occur. The model in the example is a UK 10.

Can I wear these shoes with orthotics?

Yes, the Major VP Oak 2 features a removable footbed, which allows space for custom orthotics or insoles if needed.

What is the main difference between the suede and leather versions?

The suede version primarily uses suede split cowhide for a softer, more casual look, while the leather version uses cowhide leather for a smoother, potentially more formal appearance. Both share the same construction and sole technology.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. As a general guideline, condition the leather every 3-6 months, or whenever the leather feels dry.

What does 'Tyrolean' refer to in the shoe's design?

Tyrolean refers to a style of shoe originating from the Tyrol region, characterized by its moccasin construction, often with a distinctive stitched toe box and a scalloped hem, similar to the design seen on the Major VP Oak 2.

What is the heel height?

The shoe has a heel height of approximately 3cm.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water on suede where possible.

Leather scuffs or scratches.

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a matching color polish.

Footbed feels uncomfortable or smells.

Remove the footbed and clean it with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. Consider replacing the footbed if it is significantly worn.

Sole loses grip.

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
