FAQs
Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?
Yes, these loafers are designed with a wide width fitting to accommodate a broader range of foot shapes comfortably.
Can I remove the footbed?
Yes, the footbed is removable. This allows for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if desired.
How should I clean the suede material?
For best results, use a suede brush for regular maintenance and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and protect with a suede protector spray.
What is the heel height of these loafers?
The heel height is approximately 3cm.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining is made of soft fleece, providing a comfortable and warm feel.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to provide some resistance against water and stains.
What does 'twin elasticated gussets' mean?
This refers to elastic panels on either side of the shoe, typically near the ankle opening, which help the shoe stretch and conform to your foot for a secure and comfortable fit without the need for laces or buckles.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or has minor marks.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove light surface marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner.
Elasticated gussets feel too tight or too loose.
The elastic is designed to stretch slightly. If they feel consistently too tight, the wide fit may still not be sufficient. If too loose, consider the fit isn't secure enough for your needs.
Footbed feels uncomfortable or misplaced.
Ensure the recycled footbed is correctly seated within the shoe. If you require custom support, remove the original footbed and insert your own orthotics.
Soles provide poor grip on wet surfaces.
While the TR rubber sole offers good grip, it's advisable to exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.
