At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Professional work environments and smart-casual social events where a balance of maritime style and industrial-strength durability is required.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shoes feature a Standard Profile, offering a secure, locked-in feel through the heel and midfoot with a spacious, rounded toe box.
• The 100% leather upper provides a structured drape that holds its shape well, though it will naturally mould to your foot over time.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for a reliable fit, as the leather construction ensures a stable and consistent feel from the first wear.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Clean the leather uppers using a specialised damp cloth or soft brush to remove surface dust and maintain the natural grain.
• Avoid the use of harsh chemical detergents, which can compromise the durability of the leather and cause uneven fading of the black pigment.
• Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or black shoe cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
• Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature if they become damp, as avoiding radiators and high heat will prevent the leather from warping.
• Use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the structural integrity of the heel counter and ensure the leather remains crisp.

Our Kleman Embruns Oak Shoes FAQs

1. How do these differ from a standard boat shoe?
   The Embruns Oak utilizes a much thicker leather and a heavy-duty rubber sole compared to traditional deck shoes, making them far more durable for year-round urban use.

2. Is the sole very stiff?
   The rubber outsole provides a substantial, weighted feel that signifies the shoe's industrial heritage, offering far more stability and durability than a standard lightweight sole.

3. Do they require a "break-in" period?
   As with all high-quality leather footwear, they may feel structured initially, but the leather lining and insole will adapt to your foot shape after a few days of wear.

4. Can I wear these in the rain?
   The leather and rubber construction offers good natural resistance to moisture, though we recommend a protector spray to enhance the water-repellent properties of the leather.
