FAQs
What type of events are these shoes best suited for?
The Base London Collins are ideal for smart casual summer events, such as garden parties, brunches, or relaxed social gatherings where a stylish yet comfortable shoe is appropriate.
How do I clean and maintain the leather uppers?
Use a damp cloth to clean away dirt. For best results, apply a dedicated leather care product such as a conditioner or protector using a soft cloth. Allow to dry naturally.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?
The Ortholite insole provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to superior comfort and support throughout the day.
Can I wear these shoes for formal occasions?
No, the Base London Collins are designed for smart casual wear and are not suitable for formal events like business meetings or black-tie occasions.
What is the heel height of the Collins driver?
The heel height is approximately 0.5 cm, which is a low profile suitable for driving and everyday comfort.
What materials are the shoes made of?
The shoes feature leather uppers, a leather lining, and a TR (Thermoplastic Rubber) sole.
How should I choose my size?

Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a quality leather conditioner or cream to moisturize the leather. Use a soft cloth to gently rub the product into the material.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For added grip, consider a sole protector spray or consult a cobbler for custom sole treatments if necessary.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Check if the size is correct. If the shoes fit properly, the Ortholite insole may need a short break-in period. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction.
Water damage to leather
Blot away excess water immediately with a dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, apply a leather protector to restore water resistance.
