FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for intense gym workouts?
These are primarily lifestyle trainers. While they are great for walking, they do not provide the specialized lateral support or ventilation required for high-intensity training.
How do I determine if the size 5.5 is right for me?
The Court Palisades generally follow standard UK sizing for women. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, compromise the adhesives, and distort the shape of the cupsole.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the standard laces with any matching length flat or round lace to customize the look or accommodate different foot widths.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, supple leather, chosen for its durability and classic appearance.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
This is normal with genuine leather. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce deep creasing.
Stiff leather feel upon initial wear
Apply a leather conditioner to help soften the material and improve flexibility during the initial break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your shoes indoors for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and accommodate your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after each use. For tougher marks, use a damp cloth and mild leather-safe cleaner; never soak the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water repellent spray can help protect against minor splashes and stains.
