FAQs

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

The loafers are designed with a standard width. While the leather will mold to your foot over time, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Consider trying them on if possible or checking specific sizing advice from the retailer.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, these are primarily leather shoes. Prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the leather. Use a waterproofing spray and avoid wearing them in heavy downpours.

How do I clean the screen-printed logo?

The screen-printed logo should be cleaned very gently. Use a dry, soft cloth to dust it. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used very carefully, avoiding excessive rubbing.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is approximately 27 mm (about 1 inch).

What is the best way to store these loafers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original dust bag. Using cedar shoe trees will help absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's shape.

Is the sizing true to UK standard?

The sizing is provided in UK standard. It is always recommended to refer to the brand's specific size chart or try them on if possible for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a suitable leather conditioner following the product instructions. Ensure the leather is clean before conditioning.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. For new shoes, a brief wearing period may improve grip as the soles naturally wear in.

Scuff marks are visible

Gently buff the scuff mark with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather cleaner or a color-matched balm may be needed. Consult a professional cobbler for significant damage.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the loafers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Use a shoe tree to help stretch the leather gently. Avoid wearing them for long durations until they feel comfortable.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for brushed leather to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  • Protection: Consider a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original dust bag to protect from dust and scratches. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
