FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Josef Seibel Claire 03 trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and smart-casual styling, focusing on comfort and fashion. They are not intended for athletic activities like running or intense sports.
How do I ensure the nubuck leather stays looking new?
Regular maintenance is key. Use a nubuck brush weekly to remove dust and restore the nap. Consider applying a nubuck protector spray to guard against water and stains, and use a dedicated nubuck cleaner for any marks.
Is the wide fit significantly different from a standard fit?
Yes, the wide fit provides extra room across the ball of the foot and toe box compared to a standard width. This is beneficial for those who prefer more space, have wider feet, or desire enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
Nubuck leather is not inherently waterproof. While it offers some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain. For added protection, we recommend applying a waterproof spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede materials.
What is TPR sole material?
TPR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It is a durable and flexible material widely used for shoe soles because it provides good grip, shock absorption, and resistance to wear and tear, making it ideal for comfortable everyday footwear.
Does the side zip compromise the security of the fit?
No, the side zip is primarily for convenience, allowing for easier entry and exit. The lace-up fastening remains the primary method for adjusting and securing the fit to your foot, ensuring your trainers remain snug and supportive.
Troubleshooting
My nubuck trainers look dull or have surface dirt.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently buff away surface dirt and restore the texture (nap) of the nubuck. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
The trainers feel a bit stiff when I first wear them.
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them for short durations around the house initially. The leather will gradually soften and mold to your feet, improving comfort over time.
The side zip is difficult to slide or gets stuck.
Check for any trapped fabric or debris near the zipper teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax or a silicone spray) to the teeth, being careful to avoid contact with the nubuck leather.
How do I remove a stubborn stain from the nubuck?
For stubborn stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Follow the product instructions carefully, and allow the area to dry completely before re-brushing the nap.
The white sole is getting dirty and discolored.
Wipe the TPR sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser or a specialized rubber sole cleaner can be used gently.

Care
- Cleaning Nubuck Leather: Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, apply a dedicated nubuck cleaner according to the product instructions. Avoid using regular shoe polish or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Sole Care: Wipe the TPR sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, a gentle rubber sole cleaner can be effective.
