FAQs

What is the heel height of the Le Loafer?

The heel height is 15mm (approximately 0.6 inches).

How do I clean the matte leather finish?

Use a soft, dry cloth for regular dusting. For cleaning, use a specialized matte leather cleaner or eraser, always testing on an inconspicuous spot first. Avoid excessive moisture.

What does 'metal-free tanned' mean?

It refers to the tanning process used for the leather, which avoids the use of certain metallic salts, often resulting in a more environmentally conscious and supple leather.

Are these loafers suitable for wet weather?

These loafers are made from fine leather and are not designed for wet conditions. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in rain or snow.

How do I determine my correct size?

The shoes correspond to Italian sizing. Refer to standard conversion charts to find your equivalent UK size, or try them on in-store if possible.

Can I wear these for long periods of walking?

While designed for comfort, they are best suited for moderate walking. For extensive walking or standing, consider footwear with more specialized support.

What is the purpose of the penny strap?

The penny strap is a traditional design element of loafers, historically used to hold a penny. On this model, it serves as a decorative feature and holds the bronze-toned Cassandre hardware.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for matte finishes. Ensure you are using the correct product and test on a small area first.

Minor scuffs or marks on the leather

Use a specialized matte leather eraser or cleaner. Gently rub the affected area. For persistent marks, consult a professional leather care specialist.

Sizing feels slightly off

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. If the fit is significantly incorrect, double-check the European to UK size conversion and consider professional shoe stretching services if appropriate.

Sole or heel shows wear

Visit a reputable cobbler for sole and heel repair or replacement to extend the lifespan of the loafers.
