FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Loake Padstow is designed with a standard fit. While suede can offer some flexibility, if you have significantly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on first or consult Loake's sizing guide for width information.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are made of suede and are best suited for dry conditions. Wearing them in wet weather can lead to staining and damage to the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, but they are not waterproof.
How often should I use a suede protector spray?
It is recommended to apply a suede protector spray upon purchasing the shoes and reapply periodically, typically every few months, or after cleaning the shoes, to maintain their protective qualities.
What is the difference between nubuck and regular suede?
Nubuck is a type of suede made from the top-grain side of the leather, giving it a finer, velvety texture compared to standard suede, which is made from the underside of the hide and can be fuzzier.
Are these shoes good for all-day walking?
The Loake Padstow offers good comfort for casual wear and short periods of walking. For extensive, all-day walking or if you require significant arch support, specialized walking shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I remove scuff marks from the suede?
For minor scuff marks, try gently rubbing the area with a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser. For more persistent marks, a suede brush or cleaner might be required.
Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture or looking worn.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner.
Shoes feel too tight after initial wear.
Suede can stretch slightly. Wear them with thicker socks for short periods, or consider using shoe trees to gently expand the fit. If significantly tight, ensure you have the correct size.
Water stains on the suede.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the stain. A suede cleaner may be necessary for stubborn marks.
Soles appear to be separating.
This is a significant issue. If within warranty, contact the retailer. Otherwise, consider professional shoe repair services for resoling or re-stitching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult males and are best suited for casual attire. They are not recommended for formal events, sporting activities, or wet conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage suede.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
