What makes a shoe an everyday shoe

Four things decide whether a shoe works from the first step to the last: an upper soft enough not to need breaking in, an insole that cushions hard floors, a weight you stop noticing, and an outsole that grips without dragging. Most shoes are designed for the first two hours. These are chosen for the eighth.

Leather, suede or mesh

Leather moulds to the foot over time and cleans easily, but it breathes less. Suede is softer from day one and needs more protection in wet weather. Knit mesh is the lightest and most breathable option, though it holds its shape less. None of them is automatically better. It depends on the season, how far you walk, and how much care you want to give the shoe.

How to get the fit right

Measure both feet in the evening, when they are at their largest, and fit the bigger one. If you are between sizes, go up rather than down. Our Fit & Width Guide explains how width, not just length, decides whether a shoe feels right.

Are these true to size?

Most styles follow standard sizing. If you are between sizes, or your feet swell during the day, size up and check the size guide on each product page.

Can I wear them without socks?

Check the lining on the product page. Unlined leather styles are best worn with socks; knit-lined styles are usually fine either way.

How do I clean them?

Leather: a damp cloth and a nourishing cream. Mesh and knit: hand wash with mild soap and air dry away from direct heat.

If the pain is persistent, getting worse, or you have reduced sensation in your feet, please see a podiatrist or your doctor. Footwear is one part of everyday foot comfort — it is not a treatment.
