FAQs

How often should I brush my suede loafers?

It's recommended to brush your suede loafers regularly, ideally after each wear or at least once a week, to remove dust and maintain the nap of the suede.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede loafers in the rain, as water can easily stain and damage the suede material. If they do get wet, follow the care instructions to dry them properly.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store your Merton loafers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with tissue paper will help them retain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can prevent the leather from breathing.

How do I clean stubborn stains on the suede?

For stubborn stains, it is best to consult a professional shoe cleaner who specializes in suede. Alternatively, use a reputable suede cleaning kit, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?

The Merton loafers are best suited for smart-casual occasions. While refined, their suede construction and boat shoe influence make them less appropriate for highly formal events that require dress shoes.

What does 'hand-sewn detailing' mean for the shoe's quality?

Hand-sewn detailing indicates a higher level of craftsmanship, where certain parts of the shoe are stitched by hand. This often results in greater durability and a more refined aesthetic compared to machine-sewn construction.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions and test in a small area first.

Shoes have gotten wet

Blot excess water immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff shoes with tissue paper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush with a suede brush.

Laces are frayed or damaged

Replace the leather laces with similar quality laces. Ensure they are tied securely with knotted ends to match the original aesthetic.

Loss of shape

Use shoe trees or fill the shoes with tissue paper when storing to maintain their structure.
