FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to provide basic protection against light moisture.
Can I use these for hiking?
While they utilize Speedgoat 5 tooling, the upper construction is designed for lifestyle wear. They are not suitable for technical or rugged hiking trails.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Speed Loafer is designed as a unisex model, offering a versatile fit for various foot types.
How do I clean the sole?
The sole can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove debris from the tread pattern.
Is the leather upper synthetic?
The standard Speed Loafer is constructed with high-quality leather, though some variants may feature faux leather; please check your specific product tag.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear
Leather requires a brief break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
Surface scuffs on the leather upper
Use a leather-safe cleaner and a soft buffing cloth to gently polish out minor scuffs and maintain the finish.
Tassel becomes loose or tangled
Gently straighten the leather tassel by hand and avoid pulling or tugging on it aggressively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Speed Loafers, it is important to treat the leather properly. Since these are constructed with leather, avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes. Regularly wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth to remove dirt and dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. For long-term maintenance, applying a leather conditioner periodically will help keep the material supple and prevent scuffing. When sizing, note that these follow standard adult sizing guidelines, but ensure you test the fit with the socks you intend to wear most frequently to account for the snugness of the loafer construction.
