FAQs
What material are these loafers made of?

How do I clean the metallic knot detail?
The silver-tone metallic knot can be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratching.
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
The round toe shape offers a comfortable fit, but the overall width depends on the specific fit of the loafer. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
Can the leather sole be replaced?
Yes, the leather outsole is designed to be resoled by a professional cobbler, extending the life of the loafers.
What is included with the purchase?
The loafers come with a dust bag and a shoe box for storage and protection.
Are these loafers waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees for storage.
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Wear the loafers for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot.
Scuffs on the metallic knot
Gently polish with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, consult a professional.
Slippery sole
Consider having a cobbler apply a thin layer of rubber to the sole for improved traction.
