It all depends what you deem to be heavy I guess. Our boots are probably heavier than the average weight, as we use extremely good soles and leather, which tends to be a little thicker than some leathers and therefore a little heavier. We do offer free shipping and U.K. exchanges, so please feel free to try out at home and see what you think.

With regards to our women's shoes: the soles are currently made from TPR which is a synthetic rubber. At the moment, this is the construction for all of our women’s soles.

We are working on a new women's range which utilizes full Rubber outsoles, but currently we do not have an official release date for these styles.

With regards to our men's soles, the majority of our styles use full rubber soles. The only exceptions to this are 'Cartmel' and 'Ancoats.'

The only other use of synthetic materials are a small amount of padding we use in between the insock and the insole. We use this for comfort. This is a mix of natural rubber and synthetic rubber. We also use a small amount of PU between the lasting board and the outsole.

Our shoes & boots are all made on an industry standard sole profile - this means that the footbed is not completely flat, it is slightly curved to ergonomically fit the profile of a standard foot. So, essentially there is a small amount of arch support, but if more support is needed then perhaps an orthotic insole would be needed. Our insoles technically can be removed from the shoes, however it is not advised. The insoles are glued onto the hard under layer, so removing them will leave this exposed for you to put your orthotics on top of, so comfort may well be compromised. It is also worth mentioning that once they have been removed they are not in a resalable condition and therefore cannot be returned. We have found that with some of our customers that wear orthotic insoles, because our shoes have a little bit of extra room sometimes orthotics can be placed on top of our existing insoles.

Firstly, many thanks for purchasing LANX shoes, we appreciate your support. Blistering is, unfortunately, something that is very common, especially in shoes that use very high quality thicker leather, as we do here at LANX.

Our footwear is leather lined, which will take a bit of breaking in, however once broken in they will mould to your foot shape and allow for a comfortable fit.

At this stage I would recommend that you persist with wearing them as much as you can, with thick socks and maybe plasters to cover the affected areas of your feet. This is the fastest way of breaking in leather footwear.

Your friendly and often very helpful local cobblers shop should also be able to stretch your shoes, to allow for a little extra room. This will help make them fit better. To find your local cobblers please visit the Society of Master Shoe Repairers website... https://www.somsr.com/home.

Shoe String will also be able to assist and advise. We divert all our shoe care enquiries to Shoe String, who are an independent UK business located in Market Harborough, England. They are experts in this field and best equipped to answer all shoe care questions. They can be contacted Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, on either sales@shoestringuk.com or via 01858 467467. You can also visit their website www.shoestringuk.com. When you do contact them please make them aware of the style of LANX shoes you have and the leather the shoe is made from, details of which can be found on the specific product page.

With regards to our leather brogues and boots - their insoles technically can be removed from the shoes, however it is not advised. The insoles are glued onto the hard under layer, so removing them will leave this exposed for you to put your orthotics on top of, so comfort may well be compromised.

It is also worth mentioning that once they have been removed they are not in a resalable condition and therefore cannot be returned.

We have found that with some of our customers that wear orthotic insoles, because our shoes have a little bit of extra room sometimes orthotics can be placed on top of our existing insoles.

Many thanks for the feedback. Price is a very subjective discussion and if you deem our prices outside of your own budget that is completely understandable. However please respect that your own budget is likely outside of others budgets, and so on and so on. What I would point to is our very positive feedback in the other comments and on our website, in which our customers openly state the great value they deem our footwear. We also work with some of the best material suppliers and factories in the world, which as you would expect demands higher overheads, but with that exceptional quality. We strive to make proper shoes that are built to last, which means that if they are looked after they will last for many years, thus creating exceptional value. Maybe an investment in a pair of LANX would see you save money in the long run, something to ponder on and consider. Have a great day. Regards, Marv (LANX Founder)

Many thanks for the comment. The majority of our footwear collections are 100% UK made. All our clothing and socks are UK made. Additional UK made footwear collections launching very soon. All the info is on our website - click here.

Thank you for the comment. Presently… We offer Goodyear welted, blake stitched and cement lasted in mens. In women’s we offer cement lasted, but are hoping to introduce Goodyear welted and blake stitched soon.

You can filter by construction type here.

We offer a repair service for all our footwear, no matter the construction type.

We use excellent leather in all our footwear, which means the leather is thicker and will take a little longer to wear in. In most cases it can take 4-5 wears before they soften and wear in. However some customers report this process can be much quicker. Ultimately it depends on the customer and their feet.

With regards to the weight of our shoes, I guess this is subjective to personal thoughts on what it heavy or not heavy. I’d say our footwear is slightly heavier than most as we use exceptional leather, lining and also sole units, which often means thicker and therefore more weight. That being said I know many footwear brands with heavier footwear and many of our customers also comment that they find our styles comfortable to wear out the box.
