FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
Suede is absorbent. It is highly recommended to apply a protective waterproofing spray, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will ruin the structure and the suede finish. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Are these considered driving shoes?
Yes, they feature a classic driving-shoe aesthetic, including a protective rubber heel wrap for better pedal control.
Do I need to wear socks with these?
While it is a personal choice, wearing no-show socks can help keep the interior clean and prevent moisture buildup.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The shoe should feel snug but not restrictive. The stretch panels should allow the shoe to hold your foot in place without pinching.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing signs of staining
Gently use a suede eraser to lift surface marks, then brush in the direction of the nap.
Shoe feels too tight over the instep
Ensure the stretch panels are not obstructed by thick socks; if discomfort persists, consider a professional shoe stretcher.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As slip-on loafers, these shoes require no complex setup; simply ensure the size fits securely around the midfoot. For compatibility, they work best with no-show or low-cut socks to maintain the intended aesthetic. To maintain your suede loafers, follow these steps:
- Use a Suede Brush: Regularly brush the surface with a soft-bristled suede brush to remove dust and lift the nap.
- Apply Protection: Spray with a dedicated suede protector spray before the first use to guard against light rain and incidental spills.
- Spot Cleaning: Use a specialized suede eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid soaking the suede completely.
- Air Dry: If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the suede from becoming brittle.
