At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Making a focal point in a minimalist outfit or monochrome wardrobe
• Daily urban wear for those who prioritise comfort without sacrificing individual style
• Building a collection of premium, limited-run footwear with high-quality leather finishes
• Fans of the original Style 44 who want a luxurious material upgrade to a classic shape

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shoes feature a low-profile, minimalist fit that provides a clean look at the ankle
• The high-resilience polyurethane foam provides a significantly softer step than standard vulcanised shoes
• The garment fits true to size, though the leather upper may feel slightly firmer than canvas initially
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the natural leather will gradually adapt to the shape of your foot for a personalised fit

Washing & Care Instructions

• Clean with a soft, dry brush to maintain the direction and texture of the pony hair leather
• Avoid using heavy water or liquid cleaners which can mat the hair-like finish
• Wipe the glossy rubber sidewalls with a damp cloth to keep the archival shine looking sharp
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this will damage the natural leather and sole bond
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the Dalmatian print from fading
