FAQs

Do these loafers fit true to size?

Yes, the Dolce & Gabbana Florio Ideal Loafers are designed to fit true to size. It is recommended to consult the size guide or try them on if possible.

What is the sole height?

The sole height for these loafers is 2 cm.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, it is not recommended to wear these premium suede loafers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede. Using a suede protector spray can offer minimal protection against light moisture.

How do I clean the DG logo accessory?

The DG logo accessory is light gold-plated. Gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the plating. For significant issues, consult a professional.

What materials are the interior made from?

The internal composition is 90% Calfskin and 10% Goatskin, providing a smooth and comfortable lining.

Are these loafers suitable for formal events?

These loafers are versatile and can be dressed up for smart-casual to semi-formal events. For very formal occasions like black-tie events, traditional formal shoes are typically preferred.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming stiff or losing texture

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap. Avoid excessive brushing. If the stiffness is due to moisture, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Scuff marks on the calfskin or DG accessory

For minor scuffs on the calfskin, a suede eraser or a very soft, dry cloth can be used. For scuffs on the light gold-plated accessory, consult a specialist jeweler or cobbler, as improper cleaning can cause damage.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

New rubber soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a specialized sole grip product can improve traction.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede (a 'crepe brush' or similar) to gently remove dust and surface dirt. For tougher marks, a specialized suede eraser can be used sparingly. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
  • Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to guard against stains and moisture. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  • Storage: Store the loafers in the provided cotton shoe bag and box to protect them from dust and preserve their shape. Stuffing them with shoe trees can help maintain their form.
  • Maintenance: Rotate wearing these loafers with other footwear to allow them to air out and recover their shape.
