FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers better water resistance than canvas, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
How should I clean the black leather?
Use a damp cloth for surface dirt and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material hydrated and free of cracks.
Do these run true to size?
Generally, Chuck Taylor models run slightly large. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size down by half.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion lifestyle trainers and do not provide the cushioning or impact support required for running.
How do I break in the stiff leather?
The best way to break them in is consistent, short-term wear. Leather softens naturally through body heat and movement.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather when new
Wear them with thicker socks for short periods at home to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double-knot or tuck the ends behind the tongue for a cleaner, more secure look.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up sneakers, setup involves adjusting the laces to your desired tension for a secure fit. For compatibility, their neutral black tone pairs best with denim, chinos, or casual trousers. To ensure longevity, clean the leather uppers by wiping them down with a damp cloth after exposure to dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather quality. For stubborn scuffs, use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness and shine.
