Troubleshooting

Leather shows signs of wear or scratches.

Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product to address scratches and restore the leather's appearance. Consult a leather care professional for deep scratches.

Loafers feel tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Leather can stretch over time. Try wearing the loafers with thicker socks or use a shoe stretcher to help expand the fit. Ensure the correct size is worn.
