Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These loafers are ready to wear straight from the box. Ensure you try them on in a controlled environment to check the fit before wearing them outdoors.
Compatibility: The Hotter Dover Loafers are designed for women and are suitable for adult foot sizes. The removable insole allows for compatibility with custom orthotics if needed. They are best suited for casual, smart-casual, and light office wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every few months) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Buff gently after application.
- Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Store in the original box or a breathable shoe bag.
- Water Protection: While leather offers some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the material. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather, reapplying as needed.
