FAQs

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

Yes, these loafers are specifically designed with a 'Wide Fit' to accommodate and provide comfort for broader foot shapes.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

While the TR rubber sole offers grip, the suede and leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a suede protector spray for water resistance.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Gently brush the suede with a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first. Treat with a suede protector spray for maintenance.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is approximately 3cm.

Can the insoles be replaced?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or new insoles if desired.

What does 'Leather Working Group certified' mean?

This certification indicates that the leather used in the shoe is sourced and produced by tanneries that adhere to strict environmental and ethical standards set by the Leather Working Group.

How should I store these loafers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag or the original box can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Loafers feel too tight initially

The leather and suede are designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you are using the correct size; if a wide fit still feels snug, consider if a larger size is needed.

Suede material looks dull or has marks

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be required. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Insole feels uncomfortable or worn

The insole is removable. You can replace it with a new Gabor insole or a different brand that fits your comfort needs. Ensure the replacement insole is the same size and shape for a proper fit.

Slipping at the heel

Ensure the correct size has been purchased. If the shoe fits correctly elsewhere, consider using a heel grip insert or a thin sock to improve the fit. The elasticated gussets should provide a secure fit, so significant heel slippage might indicate an incorrect size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish and versatile design suitable for various occasions.
  • Exceptional comfort for all-day wear due to wide fit and cushioned footbed.
  • High-quality, responsibly sourced leather construction.
  • Easy to wear thanks to the slip-on design and elasticated gussets.
  • Option to remove the insole for custom orthotics.

Cons

  • Suede and leather materials may require specialized cleaning and protection.
  • Price point may be higher due to premium materials and European craftsmanship.
  • Limited availability in specific sizes or colors can occur.
  • TR rubber sole, while durable, might be less flexible than other sole materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These loafers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No assembly or setup is required. The primary adjustment for comfort is the removable insole, which can be taken out if you prefer to use custom orthotics or for cleaning.

Compatibility:

  • Insoles: Compatible with most standard-thickness custom orthotics. Ensure the original insole is removed before inserting a new one.
  • Socks: Suitable for wear with thin socks, no-show socks, or without socks, depending on personal preference and weather.

Care:

  • Suede/Leather: For suede, use a soft brush to remove dirt and a suede protector spray for water and stain resistance. For leather, wipe clean with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Sole: The TR rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect the material from dust and potential damage. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can cause fading.
