At Duckfeet, we celebrate the notion that well-made products improve with age, and we believe taking the time to care for things you love is good for the soul. If you care for your shoes regularly, you will enjoy them longer. Your shoes, wallet, and the planet will be grateful for it.
Taking pride in and caring for the things we own helps minimise waste by ensuring our belongings stay with us longer. We’ve seen customers who have had their Duckfeet going on 20 years. Duckfeet are durable, meaning your shoes wear in, instead of wearing out, though a little bit of love goes a long way in keeping them in good condition.
We recommend that you apply a thin layer of Duckfeet leather care at regular intervals, about once a month. Don’t use too much at one time. It’s better to use a little less a bit more often. Let the cream sit a few minutes and polish afterwards with a soft cloth.
Use a shoehorn when you put your shoes on – they are easier to get on and the back will not be destroyed. Untie or unzip the shoes or boots completely when you remove them – so they are easier to pull off. It’s better for the shoes than trampling on them!
Crepe rubber soles can become firm when stored at low temperatures. We recommend storing your shoes out of direct sunlight at a temperature between 20-25C. If the soles become hard, you can place the shoes on a warm radiator, until the crepe rubber is soft again.
Avoid contact with solvents, the rubber cannot tolerate it and can dissolve. Also avoid storing them in direct sunlight or exposure to prolonged, excessive exposure to heat, such as in your car during a heatwave and this can also cause the soles to become soft and tacky. If this does happen, we recommend a resole to rectify an issue.
Store your shoes in a dry and airy place. If your shoes become wet, fill them with crumpled newspaper and let them air-dry. When they are completely dried, you can again apply leather conditioner or shoe cream. Leather shoes should not be dried on a radiator – the leather becomes dried out and porous.
If the leather gets water stains, take a cloth and make the whole shoe slightly damp. Treat the leather afterwards as described above. It is best to change your shoes daily. Give your Duckfeet a day’s rest, so they can release the foot’s moisture and dry thoroughly.
If the shoes get dirty, clean them with a damp cloth. Let the shoes dry thoroughly and treat the leather again with shoe cream or leather conditioner. Be attentive to edges and seams, which should also be treated to maintain the leather and protect your shoes against water.
Most of our styles can be resoled, you can purchase a resole from us when required.

I have worn my Duckfeet to work 3 days now and recieved sooo many compliments on them! Most saying they r so cute. I was sick of wearing white or black leather shoes that just squash my toes in so took a chance and I’m so glad I did. Still adjusting to the flat sole but I may invest in the insoles eventually for a bit of arch support. We will see.
These are actually for my birthday on 10th December. But when they arrived I sneakily did a try on 🤭 Love them & can't wait to wear them❤️ I'll be certainly tagging you on Instagram when I do 🙌
I have been wearing Duckfeet for the past 12 years and have never had better footwear. So beautifully made with quality materials, great style and wonderful comfort. I’m so pleased with them and wear them on an every single day basis. I can walk further in them than in any other shoes. The style is timeless which is good because they last a long time, even with lots of use. I will definitely keep buying Duckfeet!
My second pair of duckfeet so I knew the size would be ok, when putting on the boots the first time I had a moment of panic that they wouldn't fit but after daily wear (just sitting at the computer, not walking around) and a couple of leather conditioner applications they feel like I could walk all day in them after only a week. Love these shoes!
Love the Fyn shoe the fit, the amazing durability and they get better each wear.
I have several shoes of various ages and love them all. They become friends, comfortable and reliable. Currently I am wearing a pair travelling around India for six months. I find them suitable for all the occasions I am in and have recently undertaken a couple of day treks in quite rugged conditions, in comfort. Cannot recommend highly enough.
In my pic I am travelling on the Brahmaputra River.
These shoes look stunning and I’m looking forward to wearing them just about every day this summer. I love something so easy to slip on and off. They were pretty stiff to begin with but they’re starting to break in nicely. They go with just about anything!
My resoled green ducks are rejuvenated and renewed, renovated and reborn. I'm in love with them and so pleased they've come home for more years wear.
Also Ziggy was pretty thrilled with the box, thanks.
I am in love with my new Bornholm Sandals 😍 The colour is just perfection… the size is spot on (I went bigger than I normally go) and they were instantly comfortable. So happy with my purchase.
I have had lots of comments too.
Thankyou!!!
Worth every penny x
Amazing product easy to apply and my boots just had 3 years taken off them they look amazing
Easy to order quick delivery and a nice note inside from duck feet
Best shoes I’ve ever owned!
I hesitated for ages based on price, having not really paid more than $150 for shoes before, but wow worn at every opportunity since receiving and wish I'd purchased earlier
I think my feet spread / became more naturally aligned after 3 years of WFH and wearing little other than runners, and these are so comfortable and to my eye don't look clownish wide as I feared
I'm never going back to mass produced narrow style shoes
I have literally worn my duckfeet (GRENA) everyday since they arrived. My feet are always cold and when I moved to a cooler climate I was noticing it more, even when wearing wool socks. I haven’t really noticed my feet since wearing my duckfeet (GRENA) . My feet are warm, the duckfeet (GRENA) are comfortable, and they look ok for work. I even wore them with a dress, but I’m not certain they’ll work with every dress. ;)
I was surprised that the leather was pebbled, I think I'd prefer a smooth leather, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me. I will definitely buy another pair when I wear these out!
(I also purchased a pair of duckfeet wool insoles for my other shoes - haven’t tried them yet, but am expecting great things.)
I've been thrashing my Duckfeet for over two months now. On footpaths, roads, and hiking trails, beaches, ice and snow...and they just continue to satisfy. No matter if the temps are -19º or 17º they keep my feet so dry and warm.
My favourite boots for wearing with everything.
I received my green Lolland’s today and I love them! I had to exchange for a smaller size and the staff were so helpful. So comfortable straight out of the box. Don’t want to take them off.
