FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the leather material may stretch slightly over time.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesive of the sole. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber sole is typically suitable for indoor use, but always check the specific floor surface instructions for gym environments.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The design is relatively sleek; those with wider feet may find the fit snug due to the structured leather upper.

Do I need to break them in?

Like most leather footwear, they may feel slightly stiff out of the box and will become more comfortable after a few wears.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.

Creasing at the toe box

This is normal for leather shoes; use shoe trees overnight to help the leather retain its shape.

Shoelaces come undone easily

Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction cotton laces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless vintage aesthetic
  • High-quality leather construction
  • Reliable traction from the rubber sole
  • Comfortable low-profile fit

Cons

  • Leather requires regular maintenance
  • Limited arch support compared to modern performance trainers
  • Low-top design offers no ankle protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture and dirt. For everyday cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat sources. To maintain the shape of the shoe when not in use, use wooden or plastic shoe trees. Check the sizing carefully, as these trainers run in standard UK adult sizes; if you are between sizes, consider trying both to see which fits your specific foot width best.
