FAQs

How do I clean the woven leather on the Bracken loafers?

Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for woven or textured leather, testing it on a small area first. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Are these loafers suitable for everyday office wear?

Yes, the refined loafer design and comfortable construction make them well-suited for most office environments, particularly those with a smart-casual dress code.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to all-day comfort and reducing foot fatigue.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

While the resin outsole offers some protection, it is not recommended to wear these loafers in heavy rain or wet conditions as the leather can be damaged and grip may be compromised.

How should I store my Bracken loafers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of resin, which provides durability and a good level of traction for everyday wear.

Do these loafers come in other colors?

Yes, the Base London Bracken series is available in multiple colors, including blue, in addition to the brown variant.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the loafers with thin socks for the first few wears to allow them to naturally stretch. Using a shoe stretcher or professional stretching service is also an option if the tightness persists.

Woven leather appears dry or dull

Apply a suitable leather conditioner specifically for woven or textured leather using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb before buffing gently.

Outsole grip seems insufficient on wet surfaces

Exercise caution when walking on wet or slippery floors. For increased grip, consider a professional cobbler applying additional grip-enhancing sole protectors.

Discoloration from cleaning products

Always test any cleaning or conditioning product on a small, hidden area of the shoe first to ensure it does not cause discoloration.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the woven leather, avoid soaking the shoes. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner designed for woven or textured leather is recommended. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner suitable for woven leather periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  3. Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect the woven texture. Stuffing with shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  4. Protection: Consider a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture. Ensure it's appropriate for the specific type of woven leather.
