FAQs
Can I wear these shoes without socks?

Are these shoes suitable for office wear?
They are perfect for business-casual environments, pairing excellently with chinos or tailored trousers.
How do I ensure I get the right size?

Will the woven leather stretch?
Yes, like all genuine leather, these shoes will stretch slightly to accommodate your foot shape over time.
Should I use leather conditioner on these?
Applying a light leather conditioner once every few months will keep the woven strips supple and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes indoors for short durations to allow natural heat and movement to soften the leather.
Dust collecting in the woven upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to gently dislodge debris from the weave.
The fit feels slightly loose
Consider using a thin leather insole insert to take up space and enhance comfort without compromising the shoe's aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Riverside loafers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Wear: If the leather feels firm, wear them around your home with light socks for short periods to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the woven gaps. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather cleaner specifically formulated for woven products, ensuring it is gently worked into the crevices.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to keep the loafer silhouette crisp.
