Product Information
Full details
The Fracap Commando Trainers are designed for adult men who prioritize high-quality craftsmanship and rugged durability in their footwear. These black calfskin leather trainers offer a sophisticated aesthetic combined with a functional ripple sole for superior traction, making them ideal for both casual urban environments and slightly more demanding terrain. While they provide excellent comfort through their fully lined leather interior, users should be aware that their robust construction requires an initial break-in period common with premium, structured leather footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the calfskin leather is durable and the construction is robust, they are not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer a thicker sock, consider your usual fit for structured leather shoes.
Can I replace the insoles?
The shoes feature a natural calfskin leather insole. While they are designed for long-term wear, they are not typically meant to be removed, though they can accommodate thin aftermarket orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the ripple sole?
Use a medium-bristled brush and mild soapy water to remove debris trapped in the ridges of the ripple sole. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Do these require a specific type of polish?
Use a black shoe cream or wax polish to touch up scuffs and maintain the deep black finish of the calfskin.
Troubleshooting
Stiff fit during first wear
This is normal for premium leather; wear the shoes for short durations inside your home to gradually soften the material.
Leather appearing dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth to restore moisture and shine.
Laces slipping
Ensure the gunmetal eyelets are free of debris; replace with waxed cotton laces if extra grip is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fracap Commando Trainers last for years, proper care is essential. Upon first wear, consider wearing them for shorter periods to allow the natural calfskin leather to mold to your foot shape. For daily care, wipe away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth after use. To maintain the luster of the black calfskin, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few months to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, and use shoe trees if possible to help them retain their shape between wears.
