FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Bracken loafer generally follows standard sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on first or consult size guides carefully. The woven nature may offer some flexibility.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the leather is treated, these are primarily dress loafers and not designed for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions can damage the leather. It's best to wear waterproof footwear in inclement weather.

How do I maintain the blue colour?

Use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for colored leather. Avoid using products that might alter or remove the dye. Store them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

What is the benefit of the Ortholite insole?

Ortholite insoles provide enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to superior comfort and foot health throughout the day.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or appear dry. This helps keep the leather supple and prevents cracking.

Can I replace the Ortholite insole?

The Ortholite insole is typically integrated for comfort and support. While some users may opt to insert aftermarket insoles, it's not designed for easy removal and replacement.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.

Leather will naturally stretch slightly. Wear them for short periods initially, or use a shoe stretcher if needed. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot.

Woven leather appears dry or cracked.

Apply a good quality leather conditioner and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or dryness.

Discoloration on woven leather.

Depending on the cause, try a specialized leather cleaner for the affected area. For dye transfer from socks, ensure socks are colorfast.

Ortholite insole loses cushioning.

The Ortholite insole is designed for durability, but extensive wear will eventually reduce cushioning. Ensure you are rotating shoes to allow them to air out and recover.

  • Exceptional comfort due to the Ortholite insole.
  • Stylish and sophisticated woven leather design.

  • Durable construction for long-lasting wear.
  • Adds a polished finish to outfits.

Cons

  • Woven leather requires specific care to prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The Base London Bracken Loafers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility:

These loafers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, from formal to smart-casual. They pair well with trousers, chinos, jeans, and even tailored shorts.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For the woven leather, avoid harsh chemicals. A specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly if needed.
  • Conditioning: Periodically use a quality leather conditioner to keep the woven leather supple and prevent it from drying out.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to protect against the elements, especially for the blue variant.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.
