FAQs

What material are these loafers made of?

The loafers are made from premium calfskin leather for both the upper and lining, with a leather insole and a leather and rubber sole.

How should I clean my Bottega Veneta Astaire Loafers?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth for dust. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Use a specialized leather conditioner to maintain the material.

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

The almond toe shape generally offers a comfortable fit, but the width will depend on individual foot shape. It is recommended to try them on if possible.

Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?

While the leather and sole offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear them in heavy rain. Consider using a leather waterproofing spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture.

What does 'Jute' refer to in the color name?

'Jute' is the designer's name for the specific shade of brown color, inspired by the natural fiber.

Where are these loafers made?

These loafers are expertly crafted in Italy.

What is the main design feature of this loafer?

The main design feature is the signature metallic knot detail on the vamp.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically for calfskin, following product instructions. Allow the conditioner to absorb fully before buffing.

Scuffs or minor scratches on leather

For light scuffs, try buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or polish in a matching color might be necessary. Consult a professional cobbler for significant damage.

Leather sole feels slippery

New leather soles can be slippery. Consider having a thin rubber sole or protective layer added by a cobbler. Alternatively, gently scuff the sole on a rough surface to create better grip.

Metallic knot detail loses shine

Gently polish the brass hardware with a soft cloth and a brass polish specifically designed for jewelry or hardware. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the leather.
