The Softwaves Brown African Suede Platform Loafers combine practical slip-on styling with the contemporary appeal of a raised wedge sole. Designed for women who appreciate a balance of comfort-conscious footwear and polished everyday style, Candida offers a versatile alternative to both traditional loafers and casual trainers.
The rich brown suede upper brings a soft, textured finish, complemented by classic moccasin stitching, fringed detailing and a decorative tortoiseshell-effect ornament. A substantial, layered platform wedge gives the shoe its distinctive profile, with contrasting beige and dark brown bands adding subtle visual interest.

Care Tips
Brown suede benefits from gentle, regular care to help maintain its texture and appearance.
- Brush regularly: Use a soft suede brush to remove surface dust and restore the natural nap.
- Protect before wearing: Apply a suitable suede protector, following the product manufacturer's instructions and testing first on an inconspicuous area.
- Avoid excess moisture: Suede can mark when wet, so avoid prolonged exposure to rain and damp conditions.
- Allow to dry naturally: If the shoes become damp, leave them to dry at room temperature away from radiators or direct heat.
- Store carefully: Keep in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or suitable supports to help preserve their shape.
