What is the heel height of these loafers?
The heel height is approximately 3cm, providing a slight lift without compromising on comfort for everyday wear.
How do I clean and maintain the suede exterior?
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water and use appropriate suede care products.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made from suede and are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to protect the material.
What does 'Leather Working Group-certified' mean?
It means the leather used in the shoes comes from tanneries that have been audited and certified by the Leather Working Group for their environmental best practices and performance.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of TR rubber, which offers good grip and durability.
Troubleshooting
Suede material appears dull or has minor marks.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel slightly tight after initial wear.
Ensure the removable insole is properly seated. If the fit remains too snug, consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape, or consult the retailer about potential stretching options for suede.
Discoloration on suede after contact with water.
Water stains can be difficult to remove from suede. Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, attempt to brush the nap back into place. Prevention by avoiding wet conditions is recommended.
