Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks initially or trying different lacing (if applicable to the specific loafer design).
Mesh appears dirty
Use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the mesh and wipe away residue with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Soles feel less cushioned over time
