FAQs
Do these shoes require break-in time?
The supple suede and padded insole are designed for comfort, but like most suede shoes, they may benefit from a short break-in period to fully mold to your feet.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. Consider using a suede protector spray for light protection, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
How should I clean scuffs on the suede?
For minor scuffs, a suede eraser is typically effective. Gently rub the eraser over the scuff mark. For deeper marks, consult specific suede cleaning guides.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a textured rubber, inspired by classic Polo boat shoes, offering grip and durability.
Is the insole removable?
The product description states a padded leather insole, but does not specify if it is removable. It is likely fixed for structural integrity.
What does 'Venetian moccasin' refer to?
It refers to the style of the upper construction, characterized by hand-sewn seams around the vamp, giving it a soft, slipper-like quality.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly too large
Consider wearing thicker socks or using an insole insert for a snugger fit. If the sizing is significantly off, consider exchanging for a half-size smaller.
Suede has water stains
Allow the shoe to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede eraser to gently lift the stain. You may need to use a suede brush afterwards to restore the nap.
Suede appears dull
Use a suede brush to gently brush the surface and restore the nap. For more stubborn dullness, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary.

Care Instructions:

- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and protect the suede.
