FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

Try the loafers on with the type of socks you typically wear. They should feel snug but not painfully tight. There should be minimal heel lift when you walk. Refer to Dr. Martens' sizing chart for specific measurements.

How long does the break-in period usually last?

The break-in period can vary but typically lasts anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear. Consistent wear for short durations is often more effective than one long session.

Can these loafers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. We recommend treating them with a waterproofing spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to maintain their condition.

Are the tassels and snaffle removable?

The snaffle and tassel detail is a fixed embellishment and is not designed to be removed.

Can I resole these loafers?

Yes, thanks to the Goodyear welt construction, these loafers can be resoled by a qualified cobbler, significantly extending their lifespan.

What is the best way to clean the black leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap on the cloth. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Do these loafers come in other colors?

The Adrian model is available in various colors and finishes. This guide specifically covers the classic black leather version.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff

Wear the loafers for short periods each day with thick socks to help stretch and soften the leather. You can also use a leather conditioner to aid in the softening process.

Scuff marks on the leather

Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a colored shoe polish or cream that matches the black leather, applying it with a clean cloth and buffing to a shine.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Lightly scuff the soles on a rough surface like concrete or sandpaper to create better traction. Ensure soles are clean and dry before walking on potentially slippery surfaces.

Tongue rubs uncomfortably

Adjust the position of the tongue and laces. You can also try a small piece of moleskin or a thin insert under the tongue where it causes irritation.

Care:
