Crafted from high-quality leather, these loafers are ideal for formal office settings or elevated evening events, offering a timeless aesthetic through their iconic Cassandre detail and hand-stitched moc toe.

FAQs
Are these loafers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the leather structure provides a snug fit that eases over time.
How should I clean the Cassandre detail?
Wipe the metal hardware gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and prevent tarnishing.
Can these shoes be worn without socks?
While possible, it is recommended to use invisible 'no-show' socks to prevent moisture accumulation and protect the interior lining.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place inside the provided dust bags with cedar shoe trees inserted to maintain their structural integrity.
Can I replace the leather soles?
Yes, because they are constructed with high-quality methods, the soles can be replaced by a reputable cobbler once they show significant wear.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels tight across the instep initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors with medium-thick socks to help the leather gradually mold to your foot shape.
The leather surface appears dull over time.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish with a soft horsehair brush to restore the natural luster of the material.
Slippery outsoles on smooth floors.
New leather soles can be slippery. They will develop more traction through natural wear, or you can have a thin rubber sole protector applied by a professional cobbler.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When purchasing the Le Loafer, ensure your size matches standard UK fitting. To maintain the supple finish of the leather, use a high-quality neutral shoe cream regularly to hydrate the material and prevent cracking. Store the shoes using cedar shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture after a long day of wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from hardening or warping.
