Loake Hawthorn - Blue Suede - UK 6

The Loake Hawthorn offers a sophisticated look that can be appropriate for semi-formal events, especially when paired with smart attire. For very formal occasions, traditional polished leather may be preferred.

For light scuff marks, try gently rubbing the area with a suede eraser or the edge of a clean pencil eraser. Always finish by brushing the nap with a suede brush.

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can damage the material and cause staining. A suede protector spray offers some water resistance for light moisture.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees helps maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in their original box or a dust bag.

Ensure there is a comfortable fit around the widest part of your foot, with a small amount of space at the toe. The heel should not slip excessively when walking. Refer to Loake's sizing guide for detailed measurements.

The Hawthorn series is a specific line within Loake's collection, often characterized by its particular style, construction methods, and material choices, such as the premium suede used in this model.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider using a suede colour restorer product if fading is significant, following product instructions carefully.

Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, gently brush with a suede brush. If marks persist, a suede eraser may help, or consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to mould to your feet. Consider using a shoe tree to help stretch gently if needed.

Wipe the soles with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure shoes are dry before storing.
