Questions, answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Downey penny loafers run true to size?
Yes, the Downey runs true to size for most customers. The full leather lining and suede heel counter hold the foot securely. JWS stocks full UK sizes only, if you normally wear a half size in other brands, choose the full size above (for example, if you are a UK 7.5 elsewhere, choose UK 8).
What leather are the Downey loafers made from?
The uppers are polished calf leather, which is finer and more supple than standard cow leather. It takes a high shine readily, develops a pleasing patina with wear, and responds well to regular conditioning.
How do I care for polished calf leather loafers?
Wipe off any dirt with a soft damp cloth, then apply a quality leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the calf leather supple. Follow with a matching wax polish and buff to restore the shine, the leather will deepen in colour and character over time with this routine. Never use direct heat to dry the leather.
Can I wear the Downey to the office or a smart-casual occasion?
The Downey suits both well. The beef-roll design reads as refined casual, making it a natural match for chinos, tailored trousers or a mid-weight suit in a relaxed setting. The rubber sole adds enough flexibility for a full day on your feet without compromising the dressed-up appearance.
