FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Riverside Loafers generally follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a UK 8, this size should provide a standard fit.

Can I wear these without socks?

While possible, it is recommended to wear no-show socks to absorb moisture and maintain the hygiene and condition of the leather interior.

Are these waterproof?

These are crafted from leather and are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water staining and material damage.

How do I maintain the woven leather detail?

Gently clean the woven areas with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Avoid heavy saturation with cleaning liquids to keep the weave tight.

Are these suitable for formal events?

The Riverside Loafers are best categorized as smart-casual. They are ideal for social events but may be too casual for strictly formal occasions.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff after initial wear.

This is normal for structured leather. Use a leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear them for short durations until they mold to your feet.

Surface scuffs appearing on the leather.

Apply a small amount of high-quality black leather cream to the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, and buff with a soft horsehair brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Riverside Loafers last, follow these care steps:

  1. Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For scuffs, apply a matching black leather cream and buff gently.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity and prevent creasing.
  4. Compatibility: These loafers pair best with ankle-length socks or no-show socks to maintain the clean, low-profile aesthetic of the Riverside series.
