Our advice:

Whether you're looking for a pair of classic Oxfords, casual Derby shoes, or comfortable loafers, we have the perfect pair for you. However, no matter which shoe style you choose to celebrate your special day, we urge you to follow these tips to ensure you 're completely comfortable in your shoes. throughout the event. By following these simple but effective tips, you can fully enjoy the party:

• Do some tests : Wear your shoes in advance, at home or for short walks to ensure they fit properly and conform to the shape of your foot. Ideally, you should wear your new pair about 5 times before the big day. If you're unsure about your size, try them on in-store; our experts will help you choose the pair that's best for you.

• Install skates: Adding pads can be a wise measure to preserve the integrity of your shoes against certain abrasion-prone surfaces. However, it should be noted that it is not recommended to install pads on a new pair of shoes. For your comfort and safety, we recommend opting for temporary self-adhesive pads, which will allow you to benefit from better grip and prevent slipping on different surfaces. These temporary pads offer a practical and effective solution to preserve your shoes for a special occasion. However, if you wish to use real pads, we advise you to do so only after wearing this pair of shoes several times, ideally about ten times. This prerequisite will allow the leather to soften slightly and adjust the shoes to the shape of your feet, thus ensuring an optimal fit and better durability.

• Make your shoes shine : Whether you're the guest of honor or the groom, it's imperative to pay meticulous attention to your appearance, from head to toe. Therefore, it's essential to take care of your shoes before the big day. First, make sure to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface of your shoes. Make sure to meticulously brush all areas, including seams and nooks and crannies. Next, take a small amount of shoe polish in the appropriate shade on a soft cloth and gently rub it in a circular motion on your shoes. Let the polish dry for a few minutes; this will allow the leather to absorb the nutrients from the polish. Using a shoe brush, use vigorous back-and-forth motions to achieve a beautiful shine. For a smoother, sparkling finish, you can gently apply a thin layer of Finsbury moisturizer on your shoes using a clean cloth. This cream will help nourish the leather and make it more supple. By following these steps carefully, you will be able to make your shoes shine.
