FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While they are inspired by basketball styles, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for professional competitive play.
How should I clean the white leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a soft brush.
Do these sneakers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult men.
Can I replace the internal inserts?
The extended inserts are designed for stability, but they can generally be removed if you prefer to use your own orthotic insoles.
Are they waterproof?
They are made of leather, which is water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, and the outsole is made of durable rubber.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
This is normal for leather shoes; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on the white exterior
Use a specialized leather eraser or a gentle mix of mild soap and water to spot-clean affected areas.
Feeling too tight initially
Leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly to your foot shape; wear them for short durations indoors to break them in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a leather upper, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. Keep the shoes away from extreme moisture to prevent leather degradation. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a mild leather-safe cleaner. Ensure you allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK adult size, as the structure is designed for standard foot profiles.
