FAQs
What type of leather is used for the upper?

How should I store these loafers when not in use?

Can I wear these loafers for a full day at the office?
Yes, the flat sole and leather lining are designed for comfort during extended wear in office environments.
What occasions are these loafers best for?
They are ideal for business-casual settings, office wear, smart-casual events, and everyday refined style.

Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure you are not over-cleaning or exposing the shoes to excessive heat.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean. For added traction, consider a professional resoling with a more aggressive tread pattern if frequent slippery conditions are encountered.
Woven pattern shows signs of wear or fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Gently clean with a damp cloth and condition as needed. For significant wear, professional restoration might be an option.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Using high-quality shoe trees can help stretch them gently over time. Avoid wearing thick socks until the shoes are broken in.
