FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Mocassino Penny Nappato offers a comfortable fit compared with standard sizing, providing a slightly more relaxed feel than typical rigid dress shoes.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The leather sole and napped calf leather can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture.
What does Blake construction mean?
Blake construction is a technique where the shoe upper is stitched directly to the sole, resulting in a lighter, more flexible shoe compared to Goodyear welted models.
How often should I polish them?
Wipe them clean after every use. Apply a leather conditioner or polish only when the leather appears dry, typically every few weeks depending on frequency of wear.
What is the primary material used?
The shoe is constructed from 100% calf leather, including the outer, lining, and the sole.
Troubleshooting
Leather sole feels slippery
New leather soles are naturally smooth. If needed, consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber topy layer for better grip.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a high-quality leather cream matching the black tone and buff gently with a soft cotton cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Fit Note: These shoes offer a comfortable fit compared with standard sizing, so consider your typical loafer size carefully.
Maintenance Guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the exterior regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Moisture Control: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain, as water can damage the leather sole and finish. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoes maintain their shape and absorb moisture from the lining.
- Professional Care: Periodically treat the napped leather with appropriate leather conditioners to keep the material supple and hydrated.
