Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the BENE the pinnacle of the Zelli Italia loafer range?

This dual-material construction, paired with a soft calfskin lining, full cushion insole, and artisan accent stitching, places the BENE at the very top of the Zelli Italia collection in both craftsmanship and luxury.
Is the crocodile vamp genuine crocodile?
The BENE features a crocodile-textured vamp that delivers the exotic look and sophisticated texture of crocodile leather. For specific material confirmation, please call us at 817-737-9997 and our team will be happy to assist.
How do the BENE loafers fit?
The BENE is available in standard US men’s sizing from 8.5 to 13 in medium width. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. For sold-out sizes, call us at 817-737-9997 to place a back order.
How should I care for sueded goatskin and crocodile-textured leather?
Use a suede brush to gently clean the goatskin upper and restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray to guard against moisture. For the crocodile vamp, use a soft damp cloth and a specialist exotic leather conditioner to maintain its texture and sheen. Store with shoe trees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
