FAQs
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
The Cotteur MX Loafers have a classic loafer fit. While they are made from supple leather that will adapt, they are not specifically designed for very wide feet. We recommend checking the specific fit guides or consulting customer reviews for detailed feedback on width.
How do I care for the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before wearing. The 'Caoutchouc' rubber is designed for durability and shock absorption.
What is the heel height of these loafers?
The heel height is 3cm, providing a subtle elevation.
Can I replace the insole in these loafers?
No, the insole is not designed to be removable. These loafers feature a leather insole that contributes to the overall comfort and structure.
What does 'Caoutchouc' mean for the sole?
'Caoutchouc' is French for rubber. This indicates the sole is made from natural rubber, known for its elasticity, durability, and shock-absorbing properties.
How do I clean the fringe detailing?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the fringe. Avoid pulling or stretching the fringe excessively during cleaning.
Are these loafers ethically and sustainably made?
Kleman emphasizes carefully selected raw materials for an ethical and sustainable style, embodying historical know-how. The brand focuses on quality craftsmanship and material sourcing.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff initially
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the loafers for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Slight color variation on leather
Natural leather can have slight variations in color and grain. This is a sign of authenticity. Consistent conditioning will help even out the appearance over time.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
While the rubber sole offers good grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can still pose a slipping hazard. Ensure the sole is clean and dry before walking on polished or wet floors.
Water spots on leather
If exposed to water, allow the loafers to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore moisture and appearance. Applying a waterproofing spray can help prevent future water spotting.

- Conditioning: Regularly condition the leather with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
