If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, we recommend sizing up by half a size, as the calf suede will soften and mould with wear but does not stretch significantly in width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the upper leather like, and is the shoe fully lined?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper is soft Brown calf suede, which has a relaxed, velvety texture compared to polished calf leather. The shoe is fully lined in natural calf leather throughout, with a suede heel counter for comfort, making it comfortable to wear without socks as the lining beds in over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for suede to keep it looking good long-term?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrush regularly with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt, and apply a suede protector spray before first wear to guard against moisture and staining. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain; if they do get wet, stuff with newspaper and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat before re-brushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these suitable for smart-casual occasions, or are they more formal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Portus sits firmly in the smart-casual register. The suede upper and storm welt keep it relaxed enough for chinos, dark denim, or a lounge suit worn without a tie, but the classic saddle loafer silhouette makes them too casual for black-tie or formal business dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Do these loafers run true to size?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The Portus runs true to size for most customers.
