FAQs
Are these loafers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. However, because suede stretches slightly over time, ensure a snug fit when first trying them on.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is porous and can be permanently stained or damaged by water.
How do I store the Le Loafer?
Use wooden shoe trees to help the leather keep its shape and absorb residual moisture from the interior.
Is the Cassandre hardware prone to tarnishing?
The hardware is high-quality, but like all fine jewelry accents, you should avoid exposing it to perfumes, lotions, or harsh cleaning chemicals.
How should I clean internal lining?
Gently wipe the interior with a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth and ensure it is fully air-dried before storage.
Troubleshooting
Surface scuffs or light dirt marks
Use a specialized suede brush or a crepe rubber eraser to gently rub the affected area in a single direction.
Loss of texture or nap
Hold the shoe briefly over steam and gently brush the suede in an upward motion to revitalize the fibers.
Minor water spots
Gently blot with a clean, dry microfiber cloth and allow to air dry completely without heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Le Loafers remain in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of suede, you should treat the shoes with a protective suede-specific spray before the first wear to guard against dust and light moisture. Keep a suede brush on hand to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt after each wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity and shape of the moc toe.
