FAQs

What type of leather are these loafers made from?

These loafers are crafted from high-quality brushed leather, known for its refined texture and durability.

How should I clean the screen-printed logo?

Clean the logo gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using any cleaning agents directly on the print to prevent damage.

Can these loafers be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole provides some protection, it is best to avoid wearing fine leather shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the leather's quality.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is 27 mm (approximately 1.06 inches).

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

The sizing is based on standard UK men's measurements. While the leather will mold slightly over time, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts.

What is the return policy for shoes?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for detailed information on returning or exchanging footwear.

How do I care for the leather welt?

The leather welt can be cleaned with a damp cloth and conditioned along with the rest of the shoe using a suitable leather conditioner.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a leather conditioner designed for fine leather. Use sparingly and buff with a soft cloth.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using a shoe stretcher if needed.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather

For minor scuffs, a leather repair balm or cream matching the shoe color can be applied. Gently buff after application.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber sole offers good traction, but if you experience excessive slippage on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider a professional resoling with a more grippy pattern.
