FAQs
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Timberland, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches to help you convert to the correct UK size. It's also recommended to read customer reviews regarding sizing for this specific model.
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
The Authentic Kiltie Loafer generally offers a standard width fit. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on first or consult sizing guides and customer feedback to see if they accommodate wider feet comfortably.
Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?
While the leather is durable and the outsole offers traction, these loafers are not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice the leather becoming dry or stiff. This helps maintain its suppleness and longevity.
What is the purpose of the kiltie?
The 'kiltie' is a decorative flap of leather that sits over the tongue of the shoe, a traditional design element that adds a unique aesthetic to the loafer style.
Do these loafers come in other colors?
The Timberland Authentic Kiltie Loafer is available in various colors. Please check the product listings for the full range of available options.
Troubleshooting
Loafers feel too tight initially.
New leather can be stiff. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them outside until they feel comfortable.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur between the insole and the outsole or due to friction within the shoe. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole, or check for any loose stitching that might be causing friction.
Leather shows water spots or stains.
For fresh water spots, allow the loafers to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, condition the leather. For more set-in stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow up with conditioner and a protective spray.
Outsole seems slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber lug outsole provides traction, but some surfaces like highly polished floors or wet tile can still be slippery. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If slipping persists, consider a professional cobbler for alternative sole treatments.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. Best paired with socks designed for loafers or worn sockless, depending on personal preference and comfort. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a leather cleaner specifically designed for premium leather can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every few months, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to offer an additional layer of protection against the elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape when not in use.
