FAQs
Can the back of the shoe be folded down permanently?
Yes, the back counter is designed to fold along a specific seam, allowing you to wear it as a mule-style slip-on whenever you prefer.
Is the sole suitable for long periods of walking?
The Sammie is designed for everyday wear and comfort, though it is primarily styled as a fashion-focused low shoe rather than an athletic walking shoe.
How should I clean the black leather?
Use a damp cloth for light cleaning and a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains, followed by a conditioner.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The Sammie generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to consult a sizing chart to ensure the correct UK fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is best to treat it with a water-repellent spray before exposure to moisture to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Apply a small amount of leather polish or conditioner using a soft cloth to restore the natural shine.
Heel counter does not stay upright
Ensure the shoe is stored in its upright position with a shoe tree inserted to help the leather retain its original form.
Material feels tight on the first wear
Leather will naturally soften and stretch to fit your foot shape over time; try wearing them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sammie loafers remain in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt.
- Leather Treatment: Periodically apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner to keep the material hydrated and prevent cracking, especially near the folding seam of the heel.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use.
- Weather Protection: If you expect to wear these in wet conditions, apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray to protect the surface from water spots and salt.
