FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of premium woven leather.

What type of insole does it have?

It features an Ortholite insole for enhanced cushioning and comfort.

How high is the heel?

The heel height is approximately 25mm.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The fitting is described as standard. Customers with particularly wide feet may find them snug and should consider trying them on first or looking at alternative fits if available.

How should I clean the woven leather?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture.

Can these loafers be worn for formal occasions?

Yes, their refined loafer style makes them suitable for smart-casual and less formal business occasions.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of resin.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Leather appears dry or dull.

Apply a leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently. Repeat as needed, typically every few months.

Slight scuffs on the woven leather.

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing the area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather repair balm might be necessary, applied carefully to match the color.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The resin sole offers moderate grip. For increased traction on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider applying a thin layer of anti-slip sole spray or consulting a cobbler about adding rubber grip pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These loafers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The Base London Bracken Loafer is designed to complement a wide range of adult male attire, from smart trousers and suits to chinos and dark denim. They are best suited for occasions requiring a refined yet relaxed appearance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For the woven leather uppers, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and light dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a good quality leather conditioner to keep the woven leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  3. Suede/Nubuck Care (if applicable to specific finishes): If your model has suede or nubuck elements, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture.
  4. Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
