FAQs

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

These loafers have a standard fit. While the leather will naturally mold to the foot over time, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug initially. Consider trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the saffiano leather offers some resistance, these loafers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and sole.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice it looks dry or is exposed to harsh conditions. Over-conditioning can also be detrimental, so a balanced approach is key.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber and features a studded design specifically for enhanced grip and traction, ideal for driving and walking.

Are these loafers true to size?

Generally, they are considered true to size based on standard UK sizing. However, as with any footwear, personal fit can vary. It's advisable to consult size charts and consider trying them on.

How do I clean the rubber sole?

The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before wearing to maintain grip.

Can these loafers be resoled?

Typically, driving loafers with glued soles are not as easily resoled as traditional welted shoes. However, a skilled cobbler may be able to replace the rubber sole if significantly worn.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary.

Soles have lost some grip.

Ensure the rubber studs are clean and free from debris. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for sole maintenance.

Slight scuffs or marks on the leather.

For minor marks, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather cleaner or balm specifically for saffiano leather may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Conditioning: Use a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  3. Protection: Consider a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for frequent wear.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
