Q: What kind of shoe is Octavian?
A: Octavian is a traditional leather-soled dress shoe with an old-world feel and a hand-stitched build.
Q: When should I wear Octavian?
A: Wear it for dress events, dinners, special occasions, dancing, and moments when you want a more elevated leather shoe.
Q: What should I know about a leather sole?
A: A new leather sole can feel slick at first. It gains more grip as the sole gets naturally scuffed from wear.
Q: Can Octavian be resoled?
A: Yes. The hand-stitched construction makes resoling possible later if the shoe is cared for properly.
Q: How should I care for it?
A: Keep the leather upper conditioned and polished, avoid soaking the sole, and let the shoe dry naturally away from heat if it gets wet.
