At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For The primary choice for those who want the speed of a trainer with the rugged protection of a traditional hiking boot. Ideal for city dwellers who require comfortable, all-day footwear that can handle parks, pavements, and spontaneous adventures. The precision lacing and high-grip sole make these perfect for navigating rocky terrain leading up to a climb. A great option for those prioritising ethically sourced leather and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations These shoes are designed to wrap comfortably around the foot, providing a "locked-in" feel that is ideal for active movement. Features a removable, resilient foam insole that provides long-lasting cushioning for those with higher arches or sensitive feet. We recommend taking your standard size, as the lacing system allows you to adjust the volume perfectly for your foot shape. Cleaning & Care Instructions Gently brush the brushed suede with a soft bristle brush or a clean hand towel to remove surface debris after each use. For deeper marks, we recommend using a specialized leather/suede cleaner applied with a damp cloth; always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. If the shoes get wet, allow them to dry away from direct heat sources (like radiators) to prevent the leather from becoming stiff or cracking. To maintain the Oaf Buff finish, consider applying a suede protector spray before your first adventure to help repel water and stains.
