FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Padstow series is generally designed for a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on in person or check specific width sizing if available.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain. Suede is best kept dry to maintain its appearance and integrity.

How often should I use suede protector spray?

Apply suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or if the shoes have been exposed to moisture. Follow the product's specific instructions.

What is nubuck suede?

Nubuck is a type of leather made from the outer side of a cow's hide, buffed to give it a velvety feel similar to suede, but generally more durable and resistant to wear.

How do I break in new Loake Padstow shoes?

These shoes are typically comfortable from the start due to the soft suede. Wearing them with socks for short periods indoors is usually sufficient for breaking them in.

Can I polish suede shoes?

No, suede shoes should not be polished with traditional shoe polish. Use a suede brush and suede eraser for cleaning and maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Always brush in one direction for best results.

Shoes got wet

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuff them with plain paper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Avoid direct heat sources.

Fit feels slightly tight

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with medium-weight socks around the house for a few hours. If the tightness is significant, consider professional stretching.
