FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Saint Laurent loafers generally follow standard European sizing conventions. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind the structure of the leather.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Excessive water can damage the leather finish and warp the structure of the shoe.
What is the heel height?
The loafers feature a 15mm stacked heel, providing a subtle lift while maintaining a flat, comfortable walking profile.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
You can wear them with or without socks depending on your style preference; using invisible socks can help manage moisture and protect the leather insole.
How should I store them when traveling?
Store them in the provided dust bags to prevent scratches to the leather and avoid packing heavy items on top of them.
Are the shoes made of genuine leather?
Yes, they are crafted from high-quality leather, including the upper, lining, insole, and sole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the instep.
Leather naturally stretches slightly over time; wear them with thin cotton socks indoors for short periods to gently expand the leather.
Sole feels slippery on smooth floors.
This is common with new leather soles. Scuffing the bottom gently on rough concrete or having a cobbler apply a thin rubber tap will increase traction.
Leather looks dull.
Gently buff the leather with a clean horsehair brush or a soft cotton cloth to restore the natural shine. Use a neutral leather cream if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Le Loafers remain in pristine condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them indoors for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
- Storage: Always use cedar shoe trees when the loafers are not in use to maintain the shape and absorb moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a high-quality leather conditioner applied with a microfiber cloth.
- Weather Protection: Avoid submerging in water. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Maintenance: Periodically visit a professional cobbler to check the wear on the heel and sole; adding a rubber "topy" or sole protector is a common practice to extend the life of leather-soled shoes.
