FAQs
Are these loafers suitable for standing all day?
Yes, the combination of a removable footbed, fleece lining, and a wide fit is designed to provide comfort for extended periods of wear.
Can I wear these loafers in wet weather?
While the TR rubber sole offers some grip, suede is not water-resistant. It is best to avoid wearing these loafers in wet conditions and consider using a suede protector spray for light protection against moisture.
How do I clean mud or dirt from the suede?
Allow mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
What is the heel height of these loafers?
The heel height is 3cm.
Can I replace the footbed with my own orthotics?
Yes, the loafers feature removable insoles, making them compatible with most custom orthotics.
How do I know if the wide fit is right for me?
These loafers are specifically designed with a wide width fitting. If you typically find standard-width shoes constricting, especially in the forefoot, this wide fit should provide more comfort.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a contrasting TR rubber unit.
Troubleshooting
Loafers feel too tight initially.
Suede is a natural material that will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot. Ensure you are using the correct size, as these are designed for a wide fit.
Suede color appears faded or uneven.
This can happen with natural suede. Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and even out the color. For more significant fading, a suede dye or restorative product might be necessary after spot testing.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
The TR rubber sole is designed for grip, but new shoes may have a smoother surface. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a sole grip enhancer can improve traction.
Elasticated gussets feel loose.
Over time, elastic can lose its tension. If the gussets feel excessively loose, professional shoe repair may be able to tighten or replace them.

Care:
- Suede Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
