How should I clean and care for these loafers?
Wipe with a dry cloth, use a leather cleaner sparingly, and condition the leather periodically. Store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon arrival
This is normal for new, high-quality leather. Wear the loafers around the house for short periods to gently break them in. Using a quality leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try a matching color leather balm or cream. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
This can occur with new leather soles. Gently scuff the soles on a rough surface or have a cobbler apply a thin rubber sole protector for improved grip.
Color transfer onto socks or lighter clothing
This can occasionally happen with dyed leather, especially when new. It's recommended to wear dark socks initially. If significant color transfer occurs, a light application of a leather sealant might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
