FAQs

Q: What’s included with the shoes?

A: Each pair ships with branded shoe bags and a firm storage box to keep your Mare Black shoes in prime condition.

Q: How do these fit?

A: The Mare runs true to standard men’s dress shoe sizes. Wide feet? Size up half for comfort. The lace-up closure makes minor adjustments easy.

Q: Can I wear these with jeans?

A: Absolutely. They sharpen dark denim, chinos, or a full suit—up to you how formal or relaxed you take it.

Q: How do I maintain eel skin and ostrich leather?

A: Use a soft cloth to wipe away dust. For tougher spots, a damp cloth followed by air drying (never direct heat) works best. Leather conditioner applied sparingly keeps both materials supple and rich.

Q: Any seasonal restrictions?

A: Not really. Eel skin holds up well but avoid heavy rain. Ostrich naturally resists scuffs, making these practical year-round.

Care & Maintenance

Gently brush off dirt before storing. Condition occasionally—once a month for heavy rotation, every few months otherwise. Use shoe trees to maintain shape and let shoes breathe between wears. Keep in the included dust bags for scratch protection. Oh, and don’t store damp—seriously, let them air out if caught in rain.

Sizing & Fit

Order your usual dress shoe size. For borderline or wider feet, consider a half-size up. Laced closure helps dial in the right snugness. Break-in is minimal, but expect the leather to soften for a glove-like fit after a week or two. Got fit concerns? Reach out before buying—returns are easier than living with the wrong size.
