Expand the Lifetime of Your Loafers

At Alfie Walker, we believe that every pair of loafers is an investment in timeless elegance. With the right care, your loafers will stand the test of time, retaining their charm and character as they journey with you. Whether crafted from luxurious suede or rich leather, here’s how to keep them looking impeccable:

For Suede Loafers:

  1. Protect with Spray: Treat new suede loafers with a protective spray to guard against dirt and moisture.
  2. Brush with Care: Use a suede brush to remove dust and dirt, brushing in the same direction to maintain the texture.
  3. Tackle Stains Gently: Use a suede eraser or a soft cloth with a touch of white vinegar for light stains. Gently rub the affected area and let it dry naturally.
  4. Store Smartly: Keep your loafers in a cool, dry place. Use shoe trees to preserve their shape and avoid creases.
  5. Mind the Weather: Suede is sensitive to moisture. Avoid rainy days or apply a water-repellent spray before heading out.

For Leather Loafers:

  1. Clean Regularly: Wipe away dirt and dust with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to dry naturally at room temperature.
  2. Hydrate the Leather: Use a quality leather conditioner to keep the material soft and prevent cracks.
  3. Polish to Perfection: Apply a premium shoe polish with a soft cloth to enhance shine and add an extra layer of protection.
  4. Protect from Moisture: Use a water-repellent spray to guard against stains and water damage.
  5. Store Thoughtfully: Place shoe trees inside your loafers when not in use to maintain their form, and store them in a dry, ventilated space.

Caring for your loafers is more than maintenance; it’s a way to honor the craftsmanship that went into creating them. With just a little effort, your Alfie Walker loafers will remain an enduring symbol of timeless sophistication. After all, true luxury only gets better with age.
