FAQs

Are these shoes made of real leather?

Yes, the Cabrino series features Leather Working Group-certified leather for the upper, insole, and lining.

Do I need to size up for these loafers?

Most users find that these shoes fit true to size, but since they are available in half sizes, you can achieve a very precise fit without sizing up.

Can these be worn without socks?

While the leather lining makes them comfortable, wearing them with invisible liner socks is recommended to absorb moisture and protect the leather insole.

How do I keep the brown color looking vibrant?

Apply a brown-tinted shoe cream every few weeks to nourish the leather and maintain the richness of the pigment.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

Leather soles and uppers are not waterproof. If worn in the rain, wipe them dry immediately and let them air dry away from direct heat sources.

What is the primary difference between the leather and suede versions?

The leather version offers a polished, professional shine, while the suede versions provide a softer, more casual texture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Leather naturally stretches slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods at home with thicker socks to gently expand the material.

Heel slippage

Ensure you are using the correct size; if slippage persists, consider adding a thin leather heel grip to the back of the shoe.

Scuffs on the leather surface

Use a matching brown shoe cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform color of the leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction using certified sustainable leather
  • Sophisticated, timeless design for formal use
  • Available in half sizes for a more precise fit
  • Breathable leather interior and insole

Cons

  • Requires breaking-in time due to structured leather
  • Specific to formal and smart-casual attire
  • Leather surfaces require regular maintenance to remain polished

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Cabrino shoes last, store them with wooden shoe trees when not in use; this helps absorb moisture and maintains the loafer's shape. Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent the upper from drying out or cracking. When cleaning, wipe away dust with a soft, dry cloth and apply a neutral or brown cream polish to restore the luster. These shoes are best paired with mid-weight dress socks or, for a more relaxed look, invisible liner socks during warmer months.
