FAQs
How do I clean my white Paul Smith Lee Trainers?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the leather.
Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their 100% leather uppers and comfortable rubber soles, the Paul Smith Lee Trainers are designed for comfortable all-day wear, especially after a short break-in period where the leather adapts to your foot.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage or staining to the white leather. Applying a water-repellent leather protector spray can offer additional defense against moisture.
What is the 'Sports Stripe' on the heel for?
The 'Sports Stripe' grosgrain heel pull is a signature Paul Smith design detail. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it also serves a practical purpose, making it easier to pull the trainers on and off.
How can I prevent the leather from creasing?
Some creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize significant creasing, use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape. Also, avoid excessive bending of the foot where possible.
Is it okay to machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers as it can severely damage the leather, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Always clean them by hand following the care instructions provided.
Troubleshooting
White leather appears dirty or stained.
Regularly wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated white leather cleaner designed for smooth leather, following the product's instructions carefully.
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes typically require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. A quality leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
The 'Sports Stripe' heel pulls show minor fraying.
Handle the heel pulls gently when putting on or taking off the trainers. If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim loose threads with small, sharp scissors to prevent further unraveling.
Soles show signs of wear prematurely.
While rubber soles are durable, heavy abrasive use can accelerate wear. Consider rotating your trainers with other footwear, and avoid dragging your feet. For significant wear, a professional cobbler may be able to resole them.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your white leather trainers:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality leather protector spray suitable for white leather. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe the trainers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and to prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather and structural components.
