❓ FAQs
Q: What are the soles made of, and why the pebbles?
A: The sole features multiple rubber “gommini” (pebbles) — a hallmark of Gommino driving loafers — which provide grip and flexibility.
Q: Are these made of real suede?
A: Many classic Gommino models use calfskin suede.
Q: Do they run true to size?
A: Gommino loafers tend to run true to standard sizes. Some users recommend sizing up half size if between sizes or if wearing thick socks.
Q: Can I wear them in light rain?
A: Suede is delicate. Occasional damp wear is okay, but frequent exposure to water can damage the material unless protected by a spray.
Q: How to style them?
