FAQs
What material are these shoes made from?
The Oliver Sweeney Amesbury Low Shoes are made from a single piece of soft calf suede for the upper, with a half leather lining and a full leather insock.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used. Always avoid water, as it can stain suede.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
The Amesbury loafers are best suited for smart-casual or business-casual occasions due to their minimalist design and suede material. They may not be appropriate for highly formal events.
What type of sole do these shoes have?
They feature a white cupsole constructed from a lightweight but durable compound, attached to the uppers with a traditional side stitch.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather. Suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some protection, but caution is advised.
How do I maintain the shape of the shoes?
Using cedar shoe trees inside the shoes when they are not being worn will help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
What is the 'air cord' apron seam?
The 'air cord' apron seam is a construction technique where the upper is stitched over a cord before heat setting. This creates a smooth, minimalist seam without any overlap.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap. For persistent dullness, a suede eraser can be used before brushing.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede eraser and then brush to restore the nap. Repeat if necessary.
Scuffs or marks on suede
Try using a suede eraser to gently lift the mark. For deeper scuffs, a specialized suede cleaning kit may be required.
Shoes feel stiff after drying
Insert shoe trees to help the leather relax and regain its shape. Soft brushing can also help to restore suppleness.
