FAQs
What type of socks are best with these loafers?
Ankle socks or no-show socks are ideal to maintain the sleek look of the loafers. Thin dress socks can also be worn for more formal occasions.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While the woven leather offers some flexibility, it is recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible, as loafers typically have a medium width.
Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these leather loafers in heavy rain or wet conditions. The woven leather can be damaged by excessive moisture, and prolonged exposure can lead to discoloration or deformation.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to dry conditions, is generally recommended to maintain the leather's health and appearance.
What does 'Ortholite insole' mean for comfort?
An Ortholite insole is designed to provide long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall foot comfort throughout the day.
Are there other colors available for the Bracken series?
Yes, the Base London Bracken series is often available in various colors, including blue and tan, in addition to the brown described here. Please check product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. The Ortholite insole will also adapt over time.
Leather weave appears dry or dull.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner following the care instructions. This will restore moisture and the natural sheen to the woven leather.
Minor scuffs or marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, try using a leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Consider having a cobbler add a thin layer of rubber to the sole for improved traction, especially if you frequently encounter smooth or wet surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Base London Bracken Loafer requires no setup as it is ready to wear out of the box. Its design is compatible with a wide range of men's clothing, from smart trousers and chinos to dark wash jeans.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the woven leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for woven textures. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the woven leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a soft brush or cloth to work the conditioner into the weave.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuff them with paper to help retain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers.
- Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
