Since calf leather is porous and absorbs water easily, avoid getting them wet. Getting the shoes soaking wet can irrevocably stain the leather, but if they just get a bit wet, stuffing the toe area with clean, un-dyed paper or cloth and letting them dry naturally, without heat, can help them to recover.

Most quality shoe repair shops will offer products to polish, protect, and refresh the leather's surface. A neutral cream polish—one without color—will also help protect the surface from scuffs and scrapes and keep the leather hydrated. If something's spilled on the leather, try using a soft cloth with a small amount of cleanser or cream on it. Rub the surface in a circular motion, then allow the shoe to dry before buffing the entire thing lightly with a dry, clean cloth.

Some accessories are forever in vogue, and we count a great loafer amongst that set. When rethinking the staple, we took the elements we loved, like a a luxe keeper detail and detailed stitching, and then added our own touch (including, as always, careful attention to comfort).

Reviews

Happy Customer

"Wonderfully made shoe with leather. I was able to insert my orthotic without any issues which helps since I have a high instep. Customer service was very responsive in trying to help with sizing. My only suggestion is, have the actual measurements (length and width) of the shoe available online to help customers select sizing. This would prevent returns and having to outlay a lot of funds to get right sizing."

— Deborah V. (5/5)

Great quality

"Comfortable and great for work. The sole is sturdy so it'll hold up while walking in New York City. I usually wear 11W and this fit true to size with the ability to wear a thin sock."

— Megan L. (5/5)

Marlowe Loafer - Burgundy

"These Marlowe loafers is a beautiful shoe. The color is luscious, almost a deep purple. The leather USA bit stiff but I can tell it will soften with wear. Even though I sized down my feet slide forward in the both shoes leaving a little under a half inch at the heal. I used tongue pads to correct the position of my foot and heel pads in one shoe to prevent slipping. The soles are stiff but as they become more flexible with wear the heal slipping has improved. I continue the break-in process for a couple of hours a day. I look forward to my first outing in these shoes."

— Mary B. (5/5)

Defective

"I have two pairs of the same shoe in the same size. For some reason, this pair is causing severe pain, only to my right foot as I walk. I’ve emailed customer service and requested a replacement. I’m waiting to hear back."

— April F. (1/5)

Comfortable

"These shoes are very comfortable and smart looking. I am looking forward to wearing them."

— Shanta M. (5/5)

A Beautiful Loafer

"This loafer is everything I’ve been looking for. The quality is excellent. I have a narrow foot (typically a AA) and found the width to be just a bit wide, especially in the heel even with wearing socks. I placed a padded insert and heel pad and now the loafer fits perfectly and doesn’t slip. I think I could wear these loafers all day. They are very comfortable and have great support."

— Janet A. (5/5)

— sandra M. (5/5)

Excellent loafers

"Shoes are very comfortable from day one and the construction and materials are amazing. Grace was also a huge help for me asking questions over email to find the right model. I will purchase another pair in the future"
