FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

Suede is naturally sensitive to moisture. We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel light water splashes, but they should not be worn in heavy rain.

How should I clean the suede?

Use a specialized suede brush for daily maintenance. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser. Avoid getting the shoes wet.

Is the sizing accurate for the LOUI M series?

Yes, the series maintains consistent sizing standards. If you have owned Vagabond shoes previously, you will likely find the same size fits well.

Can I wear these for long walks?

The LOUI M is designed for casual daily wear and commuting. While comfortable for general use, they are not athletic shoes and may not offer the support required for extensive hiking or long-distance trekking.

Are these shoes suitable for formal events?

Their low-profile and clean aesthetic makes them suitable for business-casual and smart-casual settings, though they are generally considered less formal than leather oxfords.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or loose dirt on the surface

Gently brush the suede in one direction using a dedicated suede brush.

Minor scuffs or localized stains

Use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area until the debris is lifted.

Material feels stiff after storage

Gently brush the suede to lift the fibers and restore its natural softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your LOUI M shoes, follow these care steps:

  1. Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent before your first wear to create a protective barrier.
  2. Regular Brushing: Use a soft-bristled suede brush after each wear to remove surface dust and maintain the nap of the material.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Spot Cleaning: Use a suede eraser for minor marks; avoid using water or standard soaps as these can permanently stain the suede fibers.

These shoes are highly compatible with slim-fit trousers and cuffed jeans, which allow the low-cut design to stand out without being obstructed by overly long pant hems.
