FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Flora Lug Low Shoes generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though we recommend consulting the size guide for your specific UK size 5 fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the lug sole provides good traction, they are made of premium leather; it is recommended to apply a leather protector and wipe them dry immediately if they get wet.
How do I maintain the gold details?
Keep the gold-tone metal hardware free of moisture and perfume, and wipe occasionally with a soft cloth.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The leather construction allows for some natural give over time, though individuals with significantly wide feet may prefer trying them on with appropriate hosiery to gauge fit.
What is the best way to store these loafers?
Store them in a cool, dry area using a shoe tree to help maintain the loafer's shape when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thicker socks to gently stretch and break in the material.
Gold-tone hardware losing luster
Gently polish the metal components with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to restore shine; avoid harsh chemicals.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather-specific conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the leather and the gold-tone hardware.
- Weather Protection: Use a water-repellent spray suitable for leather if you intend to wear them in damp conditions frequently.
