FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While the shoes are designed for comfort, they are styled as driver loafers. They are best suited for light walking and casual daily wear rather than extended hiking or long-distance commuting.
Can I use leather conditioner on the suede?
No, standard leather conditioners are not suitable for suede as they can flatten the nap and stain the material. Only use products specifically labeled for suede care.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
These shoes are listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking your standard UK shoe size and ensuring the fit is snug but not tight, as suede will naturally stretch slightly over time.
What should I do if I spill liquid on the suede?
Immediately blot the liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub the fabric, as this can push the liquid deeper into the fibers. Air dry completely and seek professional advice if a stain persists.
Are these shoes made in Italy?
Yes, all Valentino Garavani Driver Fastaway loafers are crafted in Italy.
Troubleshooting
Surface dust or lint accumulation
Gently brush the suede in one direction using a specialized soft-bristled suede brush.
Visible water spotting
Blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources; avoid rubbing.
Loss of shoe shape
Insert cedar or wood shoe trees when the loafers are not in use to absorb moisture and maintain the original form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these loafers are made of premium suede, proper maintenance is essential. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can permanently mark the leather. If the suede becomes dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, moving in the direction of the grain. For deeper cleaning, it is highly recommended to consult a professional shoe care specialist who is experienced with luxury suede products. Keep your loafers stored in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees when not being worn to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
