Crafted with high-quality, Leather Working Group-certified leather, these shoes provide a polished finish and long-term durability.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are generally true to size. Because they are available in half-sizes, you can achieve a very precise fit.
Can I wear these without socks?
While you can, it is recommended to wear thin, moisture-wicking no-show socks to protect the leather lining and maintain shoe hygiene.
Are the insoles removable?
The Cabrino loafers feature an integrated leather insole designed for a cohesive feel; they are not intended to be removed.
What does LWG-certified mean?
It means the leather was sourced from a tannery that adheres to the Leather Working Group's strict environmental and social audit standards.
How should I clean the soles?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away debris from the outer sole, then dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly too tight during the first wear.
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your feet over time; try wearing them for short periods at home with thick socks to speed up the break-in process.
The leather surface looks dull or dry.
Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream or polish using a soft cloth and buff gently until a shine returns.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Ensure you are using a long-handled shoe horn to protect the heel counter and ease your foot into the shoe without creasing the back.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Cabrino is a slip-on loafer, there is no technical setup required. To ensure a long lifespan for your leather footwear, follow these care steps:
- Storage: Use cedar shoe trees when the loafers are not being worn to help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
- Weather Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate water and stain repellent spray to protect against accidental spills and light moisture.
- Rotation: Allow the shoes 24 hours to air out between wears to prevent odor and material breakdown.
