Kleman Major Shoes

The Kleman Major Shoes in Black offer a sturdy, contemporary take on the traditional French work shoe. Manufactured in France with a substantial natural rubber sole and a seamed apron toe, this chunky derby provides a hard-wearing alternative to standard dress shoes, pairing just as well with rugged denim as it does with tailored trousers.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• The primary choice for those who appreciate the utilitarian history of the Kleman brand and its connection to French uniform wear
• Ideal for transitioning from the office to the evening, providing a sharper look than a trainer without being overly formal
• Perfect for those who prefer shoes with a bit more weight and a wider footprint to balance out loose or wide leg trousers
• The durable rubber sole and leather lining make these a dependable option for navigating city pavements in various weather conditions

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The Major is designed with a wider, more voluminous fit than traditional slim dress shoes, offering a roomy feel
• Most customers find that Kleman shoes fit true to size. However, here at the store we recommend sizing down if you are between sizes or have a particularly narrow foot, as the leather will naturally soften and stretch with wear
• Because of the high quality leather and thick rubber sole, these may feel stiff initially. We suggest wearing them with thick socks for the first few outings to ensure maximum comfort

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a high quality black wax or cream polish to maintain the leather's lustre and keep the hide hydrated
• We suggest applying a leather protector spray before your first wear to repel water and prevent stains
• Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the natural rubber sole, keeping the chunky tread clear of dirt
