FAQs
Are these loafers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they will soften and slightly relax with regular wear.
Can I wear these for formal events?
Yes, their classic penny loafer silhouette and premium leather finish make them suitable for smart-casual and business-professional dress codes.
How do I clean the croc-textured leather?
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather conditioner designed for textured leather using a soft brush to reach the grooves.
Is the insole removable?
The Contour Cushion footbed is integrated into the shoe design for optimal anatomical support and is not intended to be removed.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the leather will stretch, if you have wider feet, you may consider trying them on with thin socks first to gauge the width fit.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm, providing a comfortable and stable elevation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight upon first wear
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to the foot over time; wear them for short periods indoors first to break them in.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure you are using a shoe horn to glide your heel in without crushing the back of the shoe.
Outsole feels slippery on smooth floors
New resin outsoles can have a factory finish; scuff the soles lightly on a rough surface like concrete to increase grip.
Pros and Cons

- Enhanced comfort through proprietary Contour Cushion technology
- Versatile style suitable for professional and casual environments
- Lightweight construction due to the modern resin outsole
Cons
- Limited to a specific aesthetic that may not suit every casual wardrobe
- Requires proper leather care to maintain the croc finish
- Resin outsoles may feel firmer initially than rubber alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on loafers, no setup is required. For best results, use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel counter from collapsing over time. To maintain the appearance of the croc-interest leather, wipe the shoes down with a dry, soft cloth after use to remove dust. If the leather appears dull, use a high-quality leather cream formulated for textured finishes. Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight or extreme heat for extended periods, as this can dry out the leather and cause the material to crack. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from artificial heat sources like radiators.
