FAQs

What is the heel height of these loafers?

The heel height is approximately 0.6 inches (0.6 in).

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

The loafers have a semi-rounded toe and are designed for a standard fit. They may not be suitable for individuals with significantly wide feet without a break-in period or potential stretching.

How should I clean the leather exterior?

Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring to dry immediately afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

It is recommended to protect the loafers from rain. If they get wet, dry them immediately with a soft cloth. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather.

What is the best way to store these loafers?

To maintain their shape, fill them with tissue paper and store them in the provided dust bag and box. This protects them from dust and potential damage.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of leather with an integrated rubber insert for durability and grip.

How do I maintain the silver-toned horsebit hardware?

Gently polish the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a cleaner specifically designed for silver accessories, being careful to avoid the leather components.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases can often be minimized by proper stuffing when not in use. For scuffs, use a specialized leather conditioner or polish suitable for black leather. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

Discomfort during initial wear

New leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the size is correct; if the fit is fundamentally wrong, professional stretching might be an option, but significant discomfort often indicates an incorrect size.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

While the rubber insert on the sole provides some grip, smooth surfaces can still be challenging. Consider having a cobbler add a more aggressive rubber sole protector for enhanced traction, especially in wet conditions.

Horsebit hardware becoming dull

Clean the silver-toned horsebit hardware gently with a soft, dry cloth. For tarnishing, use a specialized silver cleaner suitable for fashion accessories, applying it carefully to avoid contact with the leather.
