FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you prefer a wider fit or thick socks, consider your typical leather shoe size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the resin outsole provides good traction, they are made of leather and should not be submerged in water. Wipe them dry immediately if they get wet.
Is the footbed removable?
The Contour Cushion footbed is integrated into the design for optimal structural support and is not intended to be removed.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2.5 cm (0.98 inches).
How should I clean the textured upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the textured grooves and a soft cloth for regular surface cleaning.
Can these be worn without socks?
While the leather lining is comfortable, we recommend wearing moisture-wicking invisible socks to maintain hygiene and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during the first few wears.
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This is common with new leather shoes. Use a small amount of leather conditioner on the exterior contact points or insert an insole temporarily to reduce friction.
Scuffs appearing on the croc-texture.
Use a matching brown leather cream or polish specifically designed for textured leathers to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the finish of the croc-interest leather. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust daily. If the leather encounters moisture, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. To keep the leather supple, apply a neutral leather conditioner periodically. For the interior, ensure the footbed remains dry after use; if they become damp, use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain the shape of the penny loafer silhouette. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place to protect the material integrity.
