What is the main benefit of Cushion Soft technology?

What type of socks are best with these loafers?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the leather to stretch and conform to your foot. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they feel comfortable.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable, or gently flexing the sole to see if the noise subsides with wear.

Leather scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try using a leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner. For deeper marks, a color-matched leather polish may be required.
