FAQs
What material are the Base London Bracken loafers made of?
The Base London Bracken loafers feature premium woven leather uppers and a leather weave detail.
What type of insole does the Bracken loafer have?
The Bracken loafer is equipped with an Ortholite insole, designed for all-day comfort and cushioning.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
The Bracken loafer offers a refined look that can be suitable for smart-casual and semi-formal events. They are best paired with smart attire rather than very formal wear.
How should I clean the woven leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains or to maintain the leather's condition, use a specialized leather cleaner for woven textures and a quality leather conditioner periodically.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with a waterproofing spray, woven leather is best kept away from excessive moisture. They are not intended as waterproof footwear.
What is the sizing like for the Bracken loafer?
The product information indicates UK sizing for men. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
How do I maintain the shape of the loafers when not wearing them?
Using shoe trees made of cedar wood is recommended to help absorb moisture and maintain the natural shape of the loafers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. Consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler for minor adjustments.
Woven leather appears scuffed or damaged
Gently buff minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper damage, consult a professional leather repair specialist.
Insole is not providing enough cushioning
The Ortholite insole is designed for lasting comfort. If you require additional cushioning, consider purchasing separate insoles compatible with loafers and placing them over the existing ones.
Leather color transfer onto socks or skin
This can occur with new leather products. It is usually temporary and will reduce with wear. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, especially on the woven leather. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner designed for woven textures may be necessary. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly and buff with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Protection: Consider a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to offer protection against moisture and stains, particularly if you anticipate wearing them in varied weather conditions.
