Full details

Its key benefit lies in the blend of moccasin elegance with espadrille lightness, featuring a premium suede upper and a supportive CloudBound™ sole. A potential caveat is that suede requires specific care to maintain its appearance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Blakely loafers generally follow standard sizing. While they offer some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. The removable insole can offer a bit more room if taken out.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather. The suede material can be damaged by moisture, and the jute midsole is also sensitive to prolonged dampness.
How do I clean the CloudBound™ sole?
The CloudBound™ sole is removable. You can hand wash it gently with mild soap and water and let it air dry completely before placing it back in the shoe.
What does B Corp™ certified mean?
B Corp™ certification signifies that TOMS meets high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
What is the heel height?
The outsole height is approximately 3.2 cm (about 1.25 inches).
Is the insole removable for orthotics?
Yes, the CloudBound™ sole is designed to be removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics or alternative insoles for a personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods. Ensure the removable CloudBound™ sole is properly seated.
Jute midsole feels damp
Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not wear them until fully dry.
Traction seems reduced
Ensure the TPR outsole is clean and free from debris. If the sole appears worn, consider replacement if possible, or evaluate the need for new footwear.
