FAQs
Do these loafers fit true to size?
Yes, the Scarosso Julian Loafer is designed to fit true to size. It is recommended to order your usual size.
Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, calfskin leather is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some protection, but it is best to limit exposure to wet conditions.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice the leather appears dry or is worn frequently in harsh conditions. Over-conditioning can also be detrimental, so find a balance based on usage and climate.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a lightweight, flexible rubber material, designed for comfort and durability.
Are these suitable for formal business attire?
The deconstructed monk style is generally considered smart-casual rather than strictly formal. They are excellent for business-casual environments but might be too relaxed for highly formal business settings that require traditional dress shoes.
How do I clean the decorative fringe and side strap?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust. For any marks, gently use a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture on these decorative elements.
Can I replace the rubber sole?
Yes, the rubber sole can typically be replaced by a professional cobbler if it wears out over time, extending the life of the loafers.
Troubleshooting
Loafers feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have ordered your true size. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing thicker socks around the house for short periods to gently expand the leather. For persistent tightness, consult a professional cobbler.
Leather shows minor scuffs or scratches
For light scuffs, try buffing the area with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a colored shoe cream or polish that matches the black leather, applying it sparingly with a cloth and buffing to a shine.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
New rubber soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a fine-grit sandpaper can add texture. Alternatively, consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector.
Elasticated heel is too loose
While designed for comfort, if the elasticated heel feels excessively loose, it may indicate a sizing issue or wear over time. For minor looseness, a temporary fix could involve adding a heel grip insert. For significant issues, consult a cobbler for potential adjustments.

Compatibility: These loafers are designed for adult males and fit true to size, recommended for individuals with standard width feet. They pair well with a variety of casual and smart-casual outfits.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the calfskin leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the leather. Allow to air dry naturally.
- Conditioning: Periodically (every few months, depending on wear), apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for calfskin to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Use a small amount and buff gently.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather, especially if you anticipate wearing them in wet conditions. Reapply as needed.
- Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can prevent the leather from breathing.
