ALEXANDER MCQUEEN - Oversized Sneaker - White/Black

The oversized nature of the sole can sometimes make them feel slightly larger. It is recommended to check sizing guides and consider your preferred fit. Many users find they fit true to size for a comfortable, slightly roomy feel.

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap or leather cleaner. For textured areas or the signature stamp design, a soft brush can help lift dirt. Always wipe dry afterwards.

While the leather is smooth, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and sole. Consider using a leather waterproofing spray if frequent exposure to moisture is expected.

One set of laces is typically monochromatic or matches the primary leather color, while the other set is bi-colour, featuring two contrasting shades as described in the product details, offering a stylistic choice.

Smooth calfskin leather requires regular care but is manageable. Basic cleaning with a soft cloth and occasional conditioning with a leather balm will keep them in good condition. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

Due to the construction of the oversized sole, re-soling by a standard cobbler might be challenging or impossible. It is best to consult with a specialist cobbler experienced with designer footwear.

The 'oversized sole' refers to the significantly thicker and larger rubber sole compared to traditional sneaker designs. This creates a distinctive, chunky aesthetic and adds to the shoe's volume.

This is a characteristic of soft calfskin leather. Minor creases can be reduced by using shoe trees. For scuffs, use a dedicated leather conditioner or balm, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Sometimes a squeak can occur due to moisture trapped between the sole layers or between the sole and the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help absorb excess moisture.

Replace the frayed laces with the additional set provided. Ensure the lacing technique does not put excessive stress on the eyelets or laces.

This may occur initially, especially if the heel counter is new or has been exposed to moisture. Ensure socks are of a color that won't easily show dye transfer. The colorant should stabilize with use and dry conditions.
