FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are designed for casual everyday wear, offering comfort and style for relaxed occasions. However, due to the suede material, they are best suited for dry conditions.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, or use your standard UK shoe size. These are listed as UK sizes. For example, a UK 9.5 is specified.

Can I wear these espadrilles in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede espadrilles in wet weather as suede can be easily damaged by water, leading to stains and discoloration.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole consists of a braided raffia base typical of espadrilles, combined with a durable rubber outsole for traction and longevity.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. A dust bag is also recommended.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

They feature a segmented branded leather insole, which provides some cushioning. However, they are not specifically designed as orthopedic shoes and may not offer significant arch support for individuals who require it.

What is the significance of the penny slot?

The penny slot is a traditional design element on loafers and similar slip-on shoes, though its practical use today is minimal. It's a stylistic feature reminiscent of classic footwear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the suede and insole to mold to your feet.

Sole is separating slightly

Minor separation can sometimes be addressed with a strong adhesive suitable for fabric and rubber, applied carefully. For significant issues, consult a cobbler.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to blend the color. Applying a suede protector beforehand can prevent this.
