FAQs
Where are Hudson Hawkins shoes manufactured?
These shoes are expertly crafted in Portugal.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The suede upper is porous and can be damaged by water. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Hawkins series follows standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a specific UK size in loafers, we recommend sticking to that size.
What is the primary difference between these and a traditional loafer?
The primary difference is the outsole. These feature a sneaker-style sole for improved impact absorption and flexibility, unlike a traditional stiff leather sole.
How often should I clean the suede?
We recommend a quick brushing after every few wears to prevent dirt from setting into the suede fibers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or worn
Use a specialized suede brush to revitalize the nap of the material and remove surface debris.
Staining on the suede upper
Utilize a suede eraser specifically designed for lifting dry stains; avoid liquid cleaners which can leave rings.
Gel footbed feels less supportive over time
Allow the shoes to rest for 24 hours between heavy wear sessions to let the gel and cushioning material recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hawkins shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and dirt.
- Cleaning: If the suede becomes dusty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift debris. Do not use water or heavy soaps.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the suede upper will naturally contour to your foot shape over time.
