FAQs
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The trainers are primarily made from 100% Calf Leather for the upper and lining, with a 100% Rubber sole.
How should I determine my size?
These trainers are described as having a regular fit. It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart or try them on if possible, considering your usual UK shoe size.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they are comfortable and durable for walking, they are designed as fashion trainers and are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the contrasting band?
The contrasting band is made of leather and should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth, similar to the rest of the shoe.
What does 'tone-on-tone studs on the heel' refer to?
This means the small decorative studs on the back of the heel are the same color as the surrounding leather, creating a subtle yet distinct design detail.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to protect them with a suitable leather spray.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure a proper fit and store them with shoe trees when not in use.
Sole becoming dirty
Use a damp cloth or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to clean the rubber sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with new ones of similar length and material. Standard sneaker laces are usually compatible.
