FAQs

Q: Is the Teo a true black, or does it have undertones?

A: The Teo is crafted with deep black leather—no gray or blue hints—just pure, polished black with a hint of natural sheen.

Q: Do they break in easily, or is there a stiff period?

A: The genuine leather upper softens quickly with wear; expect the fit to mold to your foot after a handful of wears, without a harsh break-in phase.

Q: What is the typical fit? Roomy or snug?

A: The Teo runs true to standard men’s dress shoe sizing, with a slightly tailored (but not narrow) profile. Most customers take their regular size.

Q: What’s the best way to clean and maintain these?

A: Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. For shine, use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly—no harsh chemicals. Let air dry away from direct heat.

Q: Any recommended occasions besides the typical suit-and-tie?

A: Absolutely—think upscale date nights, awards banquets, cocktail weddings, even gallery openings. Basically, whenever you want your shoes to say you care about the details.

Care & Maintenance

Avoid moisture-heavy environments when possible, and always use shoe trees post-wear. Store in a breathable bag or original box to preserve the leather’s luster. Clean and recondition every few months for a look that ages gracefully. If scuffed, a soft brush and gentle polish will do the trick.

Sizing & Fit

Available in sizes 8 to 13. The fit is meant to be supportive but not restrictive—lace up, walk around the house, and you’ll see the upper start to flex to your stride quickly. Those with particularly wide feet may consider sizing up half a size for added toe room.

Last word: Black leather shoes never go quietly. Grab the Teo for the days when only impeccable style will do.
