Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner.

How often should I condition the leather?

What kind of socks should I wear?

Wear socks that complement your outfit. Consider dress socks or no-show socks depending on the look you're going for.

Can these loafers be worn in wet conditions?

While the loafers are made of leather, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Use a leather protectant spray for added water resistance.

Troubleshooting
