FAQs
What is the heel height of the Barnsbury Loafers?
The heel height is 1cm, approximately 0.5 inches.
Are these loafers true to size?
While designed to be true to size, leather can stretch. It is recommended to refer to the sizing chart and consider your foot width. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit, especially with thicker socks.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These loafers are made of leather and rubber, which offer some protection. However, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to protect them with a suitable leather waterproofing spray.
What is the best way to clean the leather?
Clean the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Follow up with a leather conditioner.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing durability and traction.
Can the insoles be removed?
The product details indicate 100% leather cushioning, suggesting the insoles are integrated for comfort and support and are not designed for easy removal.
What is the lining made of?
The lining is made of 100% leather, contributing to breathability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Leather will naturally soften with wear. Wear them for short periods at home to break them in gradually. Applying a leather conditioner can also help.
Slight color variation.
Natural leather can have slight variations in color. This is normal and part of the material's character. Ensure proper conditioning to maintain an even appearance.
Creasing on the leather.
Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and use shoe trees when storing them.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber sole offers traction, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces can still be slippery. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. For added grip, consider a cobbler to add protective sole grips.
