FAQs
How do I clean the screen-printed logo?
Gently wipe the logo area with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, as this could damage the print.
Can these loafers be resoled?
Yes, the rubber sole and leather welt construction typically allows for resoling by a qualified cobbler.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 27 mm.
Are these loafers suitable for all-weather wear?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, these are primarily designed for dry conditions. Leather can be sensitive to excessive moisture and extreme weather. Consider appropriate care and protection if wearing in adverse conditions.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. These are UK size 9. Consider your usual fit in similar loafer styles.
What material is the insole made of?
The insole is made of leather for added comfort and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with wear. Ensure you are using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-conditioning, which can soften the leather too much.
Sole becoming slippery
The rubber sole provides traction, but if it becomes worn or dirty, it may reduce grip. Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth. If significantly worn, consider consulting a cobbler for sole replacement.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather loafers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure the size is correct; if the shoe is fundamentally too small or large, it will not become comfortable.
