FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the calfskin is durable, it is natural leather and not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy downpours or deep puddles.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes feature a natural calfskin leather insole; while it is integrated, it can be removed or supplemented with thin inserts if arch support needs adjustment.
How do I clean the ripple sole?
Use a medium-bristle brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt from the grooves of the ripple sole.
What is the best way to store the trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place and use wooden shoe trees to help preserve the structural shape of the leather.
Are these suitable for intense sports?
No, these are fashion-forward trainers designed for lifestyle wear and are not engineered for high-impact athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals at home to allow the leather to warm up and stretch naturally.
Difficulty threading laces through eyelets
Ensure the gunmetal eyelets are free of debris; use a small brush to clear any obstruction if necessary.
Minor scuffs on leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream or polish to buff out minor blemishes and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear, though the laces should be adjusted initially to ensure the gunmetal eyelets secure the fit properly around the midfoot. To maintain the premium calfskin leather, regularly wipe away surface dust with a dry, soft cloth. It is highly recommended to use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy water or mud; if the shoes do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to become brittle. Using shoe trees when not in use will help maintain the shape and absorb residual moisture.
