What type of leather are these loafers made from?

How should I store my Bottega Veneta loafers?

Store them in the provided Bottega Veneta shoe box to protect them from dust and damage. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Can I wear these loafers in the rain?

While the rubber sole provides some protection, it is not recommended to wear them in heavy rain as the premium leather upper and lining can be damaged by excessive moisture.

What does 'Made in Italy' signify for these shoes?

How do I clean the leather sole?

Gently wipe the leather sole with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use products specifically designed for leather soles, ensuring they are compatible with your shoe care routine.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a quality leather conditioner or cream suitable for the specific leather type to restore moisture and shine. Buff gently with a soft cloth.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather

Use a matching color leather cream or polish to cover minor imperfections. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair may be necessary.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

Ensure the rubber sole is clean. If wear is significant, consider having a cobbler add a protective sole layer or replace worn rubber parts.

Loafers feel stiff initially

Wear the loafers for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Leather will naturally soften with wear.
