FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for office wear?
Yes, they are appropriate for business-casual environments where a refined but relaxed look is required.
Should I wear socks with the Riverside Loafers?
It is recommended to wear no-show or invisible socks to keep the look clean while ensuring comfort and hygiene.
How do I determine if the fit is correct?
The loafer should feel snug but not tight. Since it is leather, it will naturally stretch slightly and mold to the shape of your foot over time.
Can these be worn in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these in the rain, as excessive water exposure can damage the woven leather structure.
What is the best way to maintain the woven upper?
Regularly brush away debris and keep the leather conditioned to ensure the woven strips remain flexible and do not crack.
Do I need to break these in?
While the insole is designed for comfort, high-quality leather shoes may require a short period of wear to fully conform to your specific foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after cleaning
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore suppleness and massage it into the woven fibers.
Visible dust or lint trapped in the weave
Use a dry, medium-soft horsehair brush to sweep out debris from the woven patterns.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a matching brown leather polish or cream to buff out minor imperfections and restore the color consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Riverside Loafers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against dust and light stains.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the woven grooves. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth if needed, then allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather cream or balm periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent the woven sections from becoming brittle.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help the loafers maintain their shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These loafers work best when worn with 'invisible' or 'no-show' socks to maintain a clean ankle line while protecting the interior leather lining.
