FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

It is generally recommended to refer to the size chart provided by G.H. Bass Weejun and consider your typical shoe fit. Many users find them to fit true to size, but leather shoes can vary slightly due to the break-in process.

How long does it take to break in these loafers?

The break-in period can vary from person to person. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear for the leather to soften and conform to your foot.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

While the EVA outsole offers some protection, the polished leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the leather's quality and appearance.

What is the best way to clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, applying it sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Do these loafers offer arch support?

The 90s Larson Penny Loafers feature a leather heel sock and EVA midsole for cushioning. They do not have built-in significant arch support, which is typical for this style of loafer. If you require substantial arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles.

What does '90s Larson' signify?

The '90s Larson' designation typically refers to a specific iteration or style of the classic Larson penny loafer, often incorporating design elements or a silhouette popular during the 1990s, such as the lug sole.

Can I replace the outsole if it wears out?

Due to their construction, the EVA lug outsole is generally not designed for easy replacement like traditional Goodyear-welted soles. If significant outsole wear occurs, consult a cobbler for potential repair options, though replacement might be limited.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff.

This is common during the break-in period for leather shoes. Wear them for short periods around the house to gradually stretch them. Thick socks can also help to stretch the leather. Avoid excessive force or heat.

Scuffs or scratches on the leather.

For minor scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a cream polish in a matching color to buff out the mark. Deeper scratches may require a professional leather repair service.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The EVA lug outsole provides traction, but like all footwear, it may perform differently on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Consider a light scuffing of the sole or applying a traction-enhancing spray if slip is a persistent issue.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a leather conditioner following the product instructions. Ensure the leather is clean before conditioning. Regular conditioning prevents dryness and maintains the leather's natural luster.

Care:

  2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a small amount and buff gently.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture. Reapply as needed.
  4. Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Use shoe trees to help preserve the shape.
