FAQs
How should I clean the leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or as needed, to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner product instructions.
Can I wear these loafers in the rain?
While the loafers can withstand some moisture, avoid prolonged exposure to rain. If they get wet, let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What kind of socks should I wear?
You can wear dress socks or no-show socks depending on the occasion and your preference.
What if the Italian leather sole wears out?
The Italian leather sole is durable, but will wear down with use. A cobbler can replace the sole when needed.
How do I break in the loafers?
Wear the loafers for short periods initially, gradually increasing the wear time. Consider using shoe stretchers to help with the break-in process.
Troubleshooting

Use a leather conditioner or a leather repair product to minimize the appearance of scratches. Consider professional leather repair for significant damage.
