FAQs

What material are the Portofino trainers made from?

The Portofino trainers are primarily made from high-quality calfskin leather for the upper, with a leather lining and a branded rubber sole.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Natural creasing can occur with leather. Ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

White logo scuffing

Gently clean scuff marks with a soft cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.

Sole wear

Regular wear will cause some sole wear. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement.

Discoloration from moisture

If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
