Frequently Asked Questions

How long should premium dress shoes last?

With proper care and occasional resoling, quality dress shoes can last 20-30 years or more. The key is rotating pairs, using shoe trees, and following proper cleaning and conditioning routines.

What's the difference between $300 and $800 dress shoes?

Higher-priced shoes typically feature superior leather grades, more labor-intensive construction methods, hand-finished details, and often come from heritage manufacturers with specialized expertise. However, the law of diminishing returns applies—the jump in quality may not be proportional to the price difference.

Should I size differently for premium dress shoes?

Premium dress shoes often require different sizing than athletic shoes, and sizing can vary between manufacturers and last shapes. Many enthusiasts recommend getting properly measured and, when possible, trying on shoes or ordering from retailers with generous return policies.

How do I care for premium leather dress shoes?

Regular care includes using cedar shoe trees immediately after wear, brushing off dirt and dust, conditioning the leather monthly, and polishing as needed. Rotate pairs to allow leather to rest and dry completely between wears, and consider professional cleaning for stubborn stains or deep conditioning.
