FAQs

What is the main difference between the 1906L Loafer and a standard 1906 sneaker?

The 1906L Loafer features a slip-on, loafer-style design that merges fashion with athletic elements, while standard 1906 models are typically lace-up performance sneakers.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the 1906L Loafer is designed for style and casual comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities. The loafer design may not provide the necessary support or secure fit for sports.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting the suede wet.

Is the fit true to size?

The fit is generally considered true to size for a loafer-style shoe. However, due to the unique construction and material, some users may prefer to try a half-size up or down for optimal comfort, especially if they are between sizes.

What kind of outfits do these shoes complement?

They complement smart-casual outfits, such as tailored trousers, chinos, or dark wash jeans, paired with button-down shirts or knitwear. They can also elevate a more relaxed, fashion-forward look.

Can the 1906L Loafer be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are best kept dry.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off initially.

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Suede and the sole unit will adapt to the shape of your foot for a more personalized fit.

Suede appears dull or has light marks.

Use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift away superficial marks. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Reduced cushioning after extended use.

While the ABZORB SBS pods are durable, performance may decrease over time. This is typical wear and tear for athletic footwear cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a slip-on shoe, the 1906L requires no setup beyond putting them on. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for general wear and fashion. They pair well with a variety of outfits, from smart-casual to more fashion-forward ensembles. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.

Care: To maintain the quality of the suede, it is recommended to use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and dust regularly. For stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides, as water and harsh chemicals can damage the material. Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against moisture and stains.
