FAQs
Are these loafers true to size?
Doucal's generally follows standard UK sizing; however, since these are slip-ons, ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use to gauge the fit accurately.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The leather sole and napped upper are susceptible to water damage and staining when exposed to heavy rain.
How do I clean the napped leather?
Use a specialized brush designed for napped or suede leather to lift dirt. For deeper cleaning, consult a leather care professional.
What does Blake construction mean for the shoe?
Blake construction is a method where the sole is stitched directly to the upper. It makes the shoe lighter, more flexible, and allows for easier resoling.
Can I use shoe polish on these?
Avoid standard pigmented shoe polishes meant for smooth calfskin, as they will ruin the texture of the napped finish.
Troubleshooting
Soles are slippery on polished floors
Wear the shoes on abrasive outdoor surfaces for a few hours to scuff the leather soles, or have a professional cobbler apply a thin rubber topy.
Leather feels slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the heat from your feet to soften the leather naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Doucal's loafers last for years, proper care is essential. Since these are made from napped leather, avoid using heavy waxes that can clog the surface. Instead, use a specialized brush to remove dust and a suede or napped-leather protector spray to repel moisture. When not in use, always store your shoes with cedar shoe trees; this helps maintain the shape and draws out any residual moisture from daily wear. If the soles become worn, the Blake construction allows for a professional resoling by a skilled cobbler, extending the life of the footwear significantly.
