FAQs

How do I determine the correct size if my usual UK size is not 7.5?

The product notes indicate that the shoe fits like a UK 9. It is advisable to measure your foot or consult a detailed size chart that accounts for this specific fit guidance. If you are between sizes or unsure, consider sizing down.

Can these loafers be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber insert provides some traction, the smooth calf leather is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a waterproofing spray designed for leather for protection.

How often should I condition the leather?

Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is a good starting point. If the leather feels dry or looks dull, it's time for conditioning.

What is the heel height?

The heel is a low stacked heel measuring approximately 15mm.

Is the Horsebit detail removable?

No, the silver-toned metal Horsebit detail is a fixed design element of the loafer and cannot be removed.

What type of maintenance does the rubber insert on the sole require?

The rubber insert requires minimal specific maintenance. Ensure it is kept clean to maintain its grip. Check periodically for wear and tear; significant wear may require repair by a cobbler.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect or tighter/looser than expected.

Refer to the product description noting that the fit corresponds to a UK 9 size. It may be necessary to try a different size or consult a size chart that accounts for this specific fit difference. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize the leather. Ensure the conditioner is appropriate for smooth calf leather and follow the product's application instructions.

Slipping on smooth surfaces.

While the rubber insert helps, ensure the sole is clean. If significant slipping persists, consider consulting a cobbler about adding a more robust rubber sole or heel protection.

Scuff marks on the leather.

For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a colored leather cream matching the shoe's color may help. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair might be necessary.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Follow product instructions carefully.
