FAQs
What type of leather are these loafers made from?
They are made from Orleans leather, which is characterized by its soft, waxy finish that develops a unique color shift and character with wear.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically provides measurements to help you find the corresponding UK size. Ensure you measure your foot accurately.
Can these loafers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather has a waxy finish, it is not fully waterproof. It's recommended to use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on wear and environmental conditions. Typically, conditioning every 3-6 months, or when the leather appears dry, is recommended.
What is the sole made of and what are its characteristics?
The loafers are set on Dr. Martens' BEN sole, which features exaggerated cleats for durability and a distinctive look. It provides good grip.
Are these loafers suitable for formal business attire?
They are best suited for smart-casual or business-casual environments. The tassel, kiltie fringe, and cleated sole might be too informal for very traditional or formal business settings.
How do I clean the contrast stitching?
The contrast stitching is part of the shoe's design. Clean the shoe as usual, and the stitching should maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the stitching.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or wax polish to restore moisture and sheen. Ensure you are using a product appropriate for waxy leather.
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole, or a leather conditioner to any friction points.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The exaggerated cleats offer grip but may perform differently on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean. For increased traction on specific surfaces, consider consulting a cobbler about adding protective soles.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the stitching carefully. For minor loose threads, you might be able to carefully trim them. For significant issues, contact customer support or a professional cobbler.
