What size shoe do I need to order?

SIZE GUIDE

All sizes listed on our website are UK sizes unless stated otherwise. On the whole our shoes are true to size. However, as we use a range of different materials there is some variation. Please do get in touch if you are unsure as to which size to order.

Please carefully try shoes on a clean, carpeted area. All our shoes are made from high-quality materials and we cannot accept returns of products with any markings on the upper material or scuffed soles. 14 day return policy for generic products. Bespoke orders cannot be returned.

What material are Manor of London shoes made of?

The inner and outer layers, as well as the soles, are made of soft-but-durable genuine calf leather, which is particularly soft, with no fine grain. It's a natural product with high elasticity, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear. We ensure that all our products have the highest quality, durability, and comfort. Our leather comes from some of the finest French tanneries.

How are Manor of London shoes made?

The Manor of London shoe collection benefits from the knowledge of experienced shoemakers and high-grade materials. Every pair of shoes is a marvel to behold thanks to the skill and passion of those responsible for making them. Each individual shoe may be worked on by up to 20 different people before it is finished. This is a complex process during which tasks are done by hand with using artisan-type skills. This carefully choreographed process and passion for detail means that each pair of Manor of London shoes is a story told by many voices.

All of our shoes are entirely handcrafted by our skilled cobblers in Spain, from cutting the unique patterns of the last you picked, to embossing the Manor of London logo into the lining of your choice, each pair of shoes is a thorough work of precision.

How do I customise my own pair of shoes or accessories?

The process is simple, when on our main page, click on words "Design Your Own” and this will take you to our 3D customiser tool. Or by clicking here;  http://www.manoroflondon.co.uk/design-your-own  You can start your design by selecting the model (preferred shoe shape/style).

When selecting a Patina finish, you can even choose the pattern and intensity of the patina. It is then applied to the entire shoe including the stitching. The patina effect is applied by hand by our cobblers and it is unique to every pair, to ensure an authentic and one-of-a kind look.

You will then choose your stitching and lace colours, and proceed with by selecting your sole type and colour. To complete your design, select your shoe size and width type. Here you also have the option to add extra rubber grip to your leather soles, a comfort insole, and ad engraving on the heel of the shoes (up to three initials)

How do I care for my leather / patina shoes, belts and accessories?

Always take care of your loved ones. Exceptional quality shoes can last a lifetime, but only if they are properly cared for! 

Condition

First use a soft brush to remove any excess dirt from your shoes. After cleaning, gently wipe with a soft polishing brush. Remove the shoe laces and condition your shoes with a natural shoe wax to soften and moisturise the leather, until the entire shoe surface has been covered. After a few minutes, wipe off any remaining wax. Ideally, one should condition one’s shoes once a month, particularly if you are wearing the shoes regularly.

Polish

Apply polish to your shoes sparingly and in circular motions with a small brush or cloth. Pay particular attention to the areas around the toe and heel. Allow the leather to absorb the polish. Buff your shoes with a brush, and then follow with a cloth, using a sawing motion on the surface to give the shoes an extra gleam and shine.

Patina Care

Use a brush to gently clean any dirt. Use a cloth to remove any dust or surface dirt. Remove the shoe laces and apply clear wax over the whole shoe with a small brush to condition and soften the leather. After a few minutes, wipe off and give it that extra buff with a cloth to give your shoes a soft shine.

After Care

Straight from our expert cobblers, here is a little advice to make sure your investments stay in mint condition. Invest in a pair of shoe trees to absorb moisture and keep the shape of your shoes in the wardrobe. http://www.manoroflondon.co.uk/cedar-shoe--trees Always use a shoe horn when slipping into your soles to protect the heel. Exceptional quality leather shoes can last a lifetime, but only if they are properly cared for. And then, like a fine wine, they will only get better with age.

We also have Luxury shoe care kits available which have everything you need to keep your new shoes looking perfect! http://www.manoroflondon.co.uk/shoe-care.  When ordering custom products, in the final stages of your order, you can also choose to add specific aftercare products for your exact fabrics and materials 

Should I match my belt and shoes? 

Simply put, yes. You do want to try to match your shoes with your belt, watch strap, or any other accessories. Having said that, you don’t need to always have an exact match. So, if you have some brown leather boots, you should always consider matching with a tonally similar brown belt. If the outfit is more geared towards a casual look, you could try a dark brown belt which could look even better. And of course, for the very formal occasions for example when wearing classic black Oxfords, under no circumstances should you deviate from a black coloured leather belt. If you prefer, you could try a different texture, for example, an ostrich textured leather belt could be a way to have a little fun with more formal looks but still stay well within the style parameters.

Another great finishing touch is matching the stitching of your custom creation with your belt. For example, a sand suede chukka with brown stitching can look aesthetically pleasing with a chocolate brown belt.

We have fully customisable belts which can be made to match any pair of shoes you can design, so you never need to worry about not having the perfect belt or accessory to match!
