Sole
The outsole of the Gucci Jordan loafers is made out of rubber for high durability so you will not have to worry about them wearing down too quickly.

You will not have to worry about slipping and falling, potentially injuring yourself or someone else. Customers can appreciate the great traction that they will receive from these shoes.
They do have a small heel that is a staple when it comes to
loafers, so you will find this on both the men's and women's versions of these shoes. They have a half inch heel so it is not going to give you a whole lot of height, but this is the average size heel for this type of shoe.
The Gucci Jordan loafers have a midsole that is made out of leather. There is not a whole lot of padding in them so you will not get that cushioned underfoot experience that some people might desire when it comes to their shoes. There are some customers who might want to opt to purchase an additional insert or insole to give themselves a little more cushioning. The leather, however, is soft on your feet and will feel great. In addition to the midsole, there is also leather lining throughout the inside of the shoe to give you a pleasant feeling while you are out and about.

This is going to help make sure they will keep their shape as well as help absorb any humidity or moisture that is in the air. It is also recommended that you keep them in a
flannel shoe bag or box.
If your shoes do get wet you should dry them with a soft and dry cloth to try to prevent any damage. When it comes to cleaning them you should only do so when they are dry.

additional insole or insert to give them a little extra when they have to be on their feet all day.

If you receive the shoes and there happens to be no support or just not enough you can always purchase gel inserts to give you what you need.
