Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a small amount of specialized brushed leather conditioner using a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Allow it to absorb before buffing gently.
Scuff marks on the brushed leather.
For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing the affected area with a clean pencil eraser. For deeper scuffs, a specialized brushed leather cleaner or repair kit may be necessary.
Slipping sensation on smooth surfaces.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, consider having a cobbler add protective rubber soles or treads.
Discomfort during initial wear.
Wear the loafers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing thicker socks might help stretch the leather slightly. Ensure the size is correct.
