FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Hawkins series features a standard fit. While the suede upper has some natural flexibility, those with very wide feet may find the standard width snug.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is a delicate material that absorbs water easily; heavy rain can cause permanent staining or texture loss.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
The Hudson Hawkins series is expertly crafted in Portugal.
How do I clean the white sneaker-style sole?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the rubber outsole, ensuring you do not get any soap or water on the suede upper.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
You can wear them with or without socks, though low-profile 'no-show' socks are recommended to preserve the shoe's interior cleanliness and comfort.
How do I keep the suede looking fresh?
Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated brush to keep the fibers lifted and free of dust.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the suede surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush or a suede eraser to gently buff the affected area in a single direction to restore the texture.
Water spots on the material
Gently blot excess moisture with a clean cloth, then allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Once dry, brush the suede to restore the nap.
Loss of footbed comfort over time
If the gel cushioning feels depleted, consider replacing it with a thin, high-quality supportive insole to regain desired arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Hudson Hawkins shoes feature a suede exterior, proper care is essential. Upon purchase, it is recommended to use a protective suede spray to create a barrier against dust and light moisture. If the shoes become dirty, use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown suede over time. Use shoe trees to help the shoes maintain their shape during periods of non-use.
