Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural to leather. For scuffs, use a matching colored shoe polish and a soft cloth to buff out the mark. Follow with a leather conditioner.
Slippery when new
Leather soles can be slippery on smooth surfaces when new. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a sole grip can improve traction.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the loafers for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the size is correct; if too tight, professional stretching may be an option.
Loss of shape
Use shoe trees made of cedar wood to help maintain the shape of the loafers when not in use and to absorb moisture.
