Loake 523CH Deck Sn63 - Brown - UK 7

No-show socks or thin cotton socks are typically recommended to maintain the clean aesthetic of deck shoes, especially in warmer weather. However, depending on the occasion, thicker socks can be worn for comfort.

Laces can usually be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.

While the waxy finish offers some protection, these are not waterproof boots. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

With proper care and regular maintenance, Loake shoes are known for their durability and can last for several years.

The fit can vary. While generally designed for standard width fittings, it is advisable to try them on or consult Loake's specific sizing guides for width information if available.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner or wax polish to restore moisture and shine. Ensure the product is appropriate for waxy leather.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a soft brush to buff the area. If marks persist, a specialized leather cleaner might be needed, followed by conditioning.

This is normal for new deck shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to flex and mold to your foot. Conditioning the leather may also help improve overall flexibility.
