Padding is read with a depth gauge on an uncompressed pair at two fixed points: the centre of the ball of the foot and the centre of the heel seat. Flex angle is the angle the forefoot reaches when the sole is bent by hand against a held heel and kept there for three seconds. Both are averaged over three pairs in size EU 38 and rounded to the nearest whole unit. The full method.

Try them on carpet indoors. A pair with outdoor wear on the sole cannot be returned. This does not affect your legal guarantee if the pair turns out to be faulty.

What this pair is

Brushed suede quarters on the soft derby last. Suede yields at the throat sooner than smooth leather, so the lacing settles a hole tighter within the first week.

Padding is 12 mm forefoot and 16 mm heel, with 34 degrees of flex.

Not treated for water resistance. Brush along the nap, and lift marks with a suede eraser rather than water.

Break-in

Two to four wears.

Care

Brush along the nap with a crepe brush after wear. Lift marks with a suede eraser, never with water. Dry away from direct heat. Full care guide.

Origin

The country of manufacture is printed on the label inside the left shoe and on the box. We make no origin claim in our product copy.
