FAQs
What makes the leather in these shoes high quality?
The leather is sourced from certified tanneries, indicating adherence to responsible environmental and ethical standards, and is selected for its softness and durability.
How do I clean the woven upper?
Gently wipe the woven area with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These loafers are made of leather and are not inherently waterproof. They are suitable for dry to moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided.
What type of sole do these shoes have?
They feature a driver sole, which is known for its flexibility and comfort, designed for ease of wear.
Can I wear these shoes for formal occasions?
These are primarily designed as casual or smart-casual footwear. While they offer a polished look, they may not be suitable for very formal events.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, depending on how frequently you wear the shoes and the climate. This helps maintain its suppleness and prevents drying.
What does 'driver sole' mean?
A driver sole is typically a flexible rubber sole, often with small rubber nubs, that extends slightly up the heel. It originated from driving shoes and provides comfort and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather repair balm or cream matching the shoe's color, following product instructions.
Slight odor development
Ensure shoes are aired out regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer or insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor.
Loss of shape
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape of the loafers.

- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months, depending on usage) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a clean cloth to apply and buff gently.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage. Stuffing them with shoe trees or paper can help maintain their shape.
