How do I clean the leather or suede upper?

Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the soft PU and textile lining, along with the comfort insole, are designed to be comfortable for wear with or without socks.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and outsole. Try inserting a thin powder insert or talcum powder under the insole if removable, or consult a cobbler.
Leather/suede appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner or appropriate suede treatment to restore moisture and sheen. Ensure you are using the correct product for the material.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Allow a break-in period for the leather to mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider using insoles for a tighter fit or exploring the possibility of professional stretching for tightness.
Sole showing signs of wear
Regular inspection of the TPR sole is recommended. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather/suede upper, use a soft brush to remove dust and debris. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather or suede. A slightly damp cloth can be used for general cleaning, but avoid soaking the material.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray if the loafers are made of suede to guard against water and stains.
