Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Gently brush with a suede brush to restore nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Avoid direct water exposure.
Loafers feel slightly tight initially
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the nubuck to soften and mold to your foot. Using thicker socks during this break-in period can also help.
Rear pull-tab feels loose
Ensure the tab is not being excessively pulled. If it becomes significantly detached, professional repair might be necessary.
Gold heel insert becoming scuffed
Be mindful of surfaces when walking. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth, but avoid abrasive materials.
