| Features | Cork Footbed |
The cork-and-latex footbed starts firm and compresses into the shape of your arch over two to three weeks. After that it holds that shape, which is why a broken-in pair fits you and nobody else. Suede is soft from the first wear because there is no surface finish to break in — and no surface finish to protect it either. A protector spray from day one is not optional.
Black is the colour most workplace dress codes specify, and the one that hides toe-box scuffs best. It greys as the finish dries — conditioner brings it back. If a specific spot hurts on day one, that is a fit problem and will not break in. General stiffness will.
Keep them away from radiators and direct sun. Heat is what cracks leather uppers and delaminates soles, not water.
