FAQs

Are these loafers true to size?

The Ravel 'Bute' Loafers are designed to fit standard UK women's sizing. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up if available, or consult a size guide.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

It is highly recommended to treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain protector spray before your first wear. Reapply the protector periodically, especially after cleaning or if exposed to wet conditions.

Can I wear these loafers in the rain?

While a protector spray offers some resistance, suede is sensitive to heavy rain and prolonged exposure to moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet weather to prevent water stains and damage to the material.

What kind of outfits do these loafers complement?

These classic blue suede loafers are very versatile. They can be worn with business casual attire like tailored trousers, dresses, or skirts, as well as smart casual outfits such as jeans, chinos, or leggings for an elevated everyday look.

Are the linings and sock made of genuine leather?

Yes, the linings and sock of the Ravel 'Bute' Loafers are made from genuine leather, providing enhanced comfort and breathability for your feet.

What is the heel height of these loafers?

The Ravel 'Bute' Suede Loafers feature a low heel height of approximately 1cm, offering a subtle lift while maintaining a comfortable, flat-shoe feel.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in a single direction. This helps to restore the texture and luster of the suede.

Water spots or light stains on suede

Allow the loafers to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently rub the affected area. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be used with light pressure.

Loafers feel too stiff initially

Like many new shoes, these loafers may require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather lining and suede upper to conform to your foot shape.

Loafers slip off the heel

Ensure you have the correct size. If the fit is slightly loose, try heel grips or cushion inserts to improve the fit and prevent slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Product Care

Due to their suede construction, these loafers require specific care to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.

  1. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.
  2. Cleaning: For dust and light dirt, use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher spots or dried mud, let the dirt dry completely, then gently brush it off. For oil or grease stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
  3. Storage: When not in use, store your loafers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  4. Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the suede.
