FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday office wear?
Yes, the Cabrino loafers are designed to be durable and comfortable enough for standard professional daily use.
Should I apply a protective spray to the leather?
While not strictly required, a water-repellent leather spray can provide an extra layer of protection against light rain, provided it is suitable for your specific leather type.
Do these shoes come in different sizes?
Yes, the Cabrino series is available in a range of UK adult sizes, including 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, and 12.
Can I wear these without socks?
While technically possible, it is recommended to wear low-cut 'invisible' socks to manage moisture, protect the shoe interior, and ensure comfort.
How do I maintain the shape of the loafers?
Using cedar shoe trees is the most effective way to maintain the shape, absorb moisture, and keep the leather from creasing excessively.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the instep
Leather will naturally stretch over time with wear. Use a shoe stretcher or wear with thicker socks indoors for short periods to accelerate the process.
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Apply a small amount of matching black leather polish to the scuffed area, buff gently with a soft cloth, and let dry.
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hosiery thickness. If the issue persists, consider adding a thin leather heel grip inside the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jones Bootmaker Cabrino shoes maintain their quality, follow these care steps:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt after each wear.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Polishing: Utilize a neutral or black leather polish to restore the luster and cover minor scuffs.
- Storage: Always use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their structural integrity and absorb internal moisture.
Compatibility: These shoes are true-to-size and pair best with mid-weight cotton or wool trousers, ensuring a smooth transition between the hem and the shoe line.
