FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify width options. These are standard fit loafers. For wider feet, trying them on in person or checking for alternative width options from the brand is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these are not designed as waterproof boots. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
How do I break in the leather?
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape. They should become more comfortable with regular wear. Avoid forcing them if they feel significantly tight.
What type of socks should I wear with these loafers?
No-show socks are ideal for maintaining a clean aesthetic with loafers. You can also wear thin dress socks or casual socks depending on the occasion.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is a good practice, or whenever the leather appears dry.
Are these shoes considered formal or casual?
These loafers are best suited for casual to smart-casual occasions. They are too informal for traditional business or formal attire.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure you are using a conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather.
Surface dirt or scuff marks
Gently wipe with a soft cloth. For scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution (diluted) may be used cautiously. Follow up with appropriate care products.
Slipping sensation on smooth surfaces
While the tread offers grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can still pose a slipping risk. Ensure the sole is clean. For persistent issues, consider consulting a cobbler about sole treatments.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: To keep the full-grain leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner periodically. Follow the product's instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray designed for leather to offer protection against moisture and stains, especially if you anticipate encountering wet conditions.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
