FAQs
Where are these shoes made?
The Hudson CHALTON line is expertly crafted in Portugal.
Are these suitable for formal events?
Yes, the classic loafer silhouette makes them highly suitable for business formal and smart-casual events.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth for surface dirt, followed by a quality leather cream to nourish and protect the leather.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The CHALTON series follows standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
Can I replace the insole?
The targeted cushioning is integrated into the footbed design for optimal comfort, so it is not recommended to replace them with third-party inserts unless necessary for medical reasons.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after initial wear.
Apply a leather conditioner to soften the fibers and continue wearing for short periods to break them in naturally.
The shoe surface shows light scuffs.
Use a matching black leather cream and buff with a soft horsehair brush to restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your CHALTON loafers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Storage: Always use cedar shoe trees when not in use to absorb moisture and maintain the loafer's shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dust and a high-quality leather cream to hydrate the upper.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray designed for fine calfskin to guard against accidental spills and light moisture.
