Castaner Flat shoes - Grey - Suede - UK 8

These shoes are made from black calf suede with a braided raffia sole and a rubber outsole.

Use a soft suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water.

These shoes are best suited for smart-casual or relaxed settings. While stylish, they may not be appropriate for very formal events.

Refer to the size guide and consider your usual shoe size. Suede can stretch slightly, so a snug fit is often recommended initially.

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can damage the material and cause staining. Using a suede protector can offer some resistance.

The braided raffia sole adds a unique aesthetic and a touch of natural texture, differentiating the shoe from standard loafers.

These are primarily fashion footwear and do not feature significant built-in arch support. For those needing extra support, consider adding insoles.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following its instructions.

Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow them to stretch naturally. If the tightness is significant, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. You may need to reapply a suede protector.

Minimize exposure to rough or abrasive surfaces. For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue can be applied carefully. Consult a cobbler for more significant repairs.
