FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
While they offer a sophisticated look, these loafers are best suited for business casual or smart casual events. For very formal occasions, traditional dress shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the enameled triangle logo?
The enameled logo can typically be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the removable leather-covered insole is designed to enhance comfort, making them suitable for sockless wear. However, consider using no-show socks for hygiene if preferred.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 15 mm.
How should I store these loafers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keep them in their original dust bag or box to protect them.
Is the rubber sole slip-resistant?
The light rubber sole is designed to provide good traction, but it is not rated as specifically slip-resistant. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.
What material is the insole made of?
The insole is leather-covered and removable.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or flattened
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in alternating directions to restore the nap.
Scuffs or minor marks on suede
Try using a suede eraser. For persistent marks, consider professional cleaning.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Remove the leather-covered insole and replace it with your preferred orthotic insert.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Suede will naturally mold to your foot.
