Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for a full day at the office?

Yes, the medium heel height and wide fit are designed to provide comfort for extended wear throughout the workday.

How should I clean the faux leather material?

Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally.

What is the heel height of the Wallis Lydia loafers?

The heel height is medium, ranging between 5-6.5cm.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

While the faux leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.

How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?

The wide fit is designed for individuals who find standard width shoes uncomfortable due to a broader foot shape. If you often experience tightness or pressure in standard-fit shoes, the wide fit should offer more comfort.

What type of occasions are these loafers best suited for?

These loafers are versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, including office wear, smart casual events, and day-to-night transitions.

Does the snaffle trim require special care?

The snaffle trim can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the metal. If it appears tarnished, a metal polish suitable for fashion jewelry can be used.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider using shoe stretchers or wearing them for short periods indoors to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. The wide fit is designed for comfort, but initial wear may require some breaking in.

Snaffle trim appears loose or tarnished.

Gently try to re-secure any loose parts. For tarnishing, use a soft cloth specifically designed for metal. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. If the trim is significantly damaged, professional repair might be necessary.

Faux leather shows creases or scuffs.

Minor creases may appear with normal wear; this is typical for footwear. For scuffs, try a mild shoe polish or a specialized faux leather cleaner. Avoid excessive pressure or rubbing which can worsen the appearance.

Discomfort during long wear.

Ensure the shoes are adequately broken in. Consider using insoles or heel grips for added cushioning and support. If discomfort is significant and persistent, the fit may not be ideal for your specific foot mechanics.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or heaters, as this can cause the material to crack or warp.
  3. Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and prevent creasing. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight.
  4. Maintenance: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for faux leather to add a layer of defense against stains and moisture.
