FAQs
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
The Torford Easy loafers are designed with a standard fit. While the suede offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them more comfortable if a period of wear allows for stretching.
Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede loafers in wet conditions, as this can damage the material and affect its appearance. The rubber sole offers some protection, but the suede upper is susceptible to water damage.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and follow the product's instructions.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm.
Are the insoles truly supportive for long walks?
The Contour Cushion footbed provides good comfort and moderate support for everyday wear and moderate distances. For very long walks or if you have specific foot conditions, you may benefit from using the removable feature to insert a more specialized insole.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of rubber, designed to be super-grippy and maximize durability.
Can I replace the Contour Cushion footbed with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with your preferred orthotics or insoles, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Loafers feel too tight initially
Suede will naturally stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially, especially if using custom insoles, to allow them to mold to your foot.
Suede material looks dull or has minor marks
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels less supportive after extended use
The Contour Cushion footbed is designed for comfort; however, if you require more robust support, consider replacing it with a more structured insole (ensure it fits comfortably within the shoe).
Slipping on smooth surfaces
While the sole is designed for grip, ensure it is clean and dry. Persistent slipping may indicate wear on the sole or unsuitable surface conditions.
