Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since the Renato loafers are slip-on, they are "ready to wear" out of the box, but we recommend using a shoe horn to prevent damaging the reinforced heel during entry. To ensure the suede remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Routine Brushing: Use a soft-bristled suede brush after each wear to remove dust and lift the nap of the material.
- Moisture Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against light rain and spills.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place using cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain the tapered shape of the shoe.
- Spot Cleaning: If a stain occurs, use a dedicated suede eraser or a professional leather cleaning kit rather than water, which can leave permanent marks on the suede.
