Product Information
Full details
The Hudson Hawkins is designed for the modern man who values the aesthetic of a classic loafer but requires the comfort and flexibility of a sneaker. Crafted in Portugal from premium suede, these shoes are ideal for everyday wear, providing all-day cushioning through a built-in gel footbed; however, as they are constructed from delicate suede, they require consistent care to maintain their appearance in poor weather conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Hudson Hawkins collection is designed to fit standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a size 8, the size 8 variant should provide the intended fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is a natural material that can be damaged by water. Use a high-quality protective spray to improve water resistance, but avoid heavy downpours.
How do I clean the gel footbed?
The gel footbed is built-in. You can keep the interior fresh by using an antibacterial spray and ensuring the shoes are fully aired out between wears.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
The Hudson Hawkins series is expertly crafted in Portugal.
Can I use leather polish on these?
No. Never use traditional leather cream or polish on suede as it will flatten the nap and permanently ruin the finish.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently sweep away debris in the direction of the nap.
Water spots or minor stains
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat, then use a suede eraser or brush to restore the surface texture.
Loss of shoe shape over time
Insert cedar or plastic shoe trees immediately after taking them off to absorb moisture and maintain the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hudson Hawkins shoes last, proper maintenance is essential. Upon first wear, it is recommended to use a protective suede spray to create a barrier against moisture and light dirt. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the leather. If a stain occurs, use a specific suede eraser or professional cleaner, avoiding water-based solutions that can damage the texture. Store these shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, using shoe trees when not in use to maintain their shape.
