FAQs

Are the Vagabond Shoemakers Cody trainers waterproof?

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, they are not waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray if you intend to wear them in wet weather.

How should I clean the white soles if they get dirty?

Use a specialized rubber sole cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth to gently scrub the edges.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are generally designed to be part of the shoe structure, but they can be replaced with thin orthotic inserts if necessary.

Do these shoes come in half sizes?

Yes, the Cody series is available in a variety of half sizes to help you find the most precise fit.

Is the leather sourced ethically?

Vagabond Shoemakers maintains rigorous standards for their leather suppliers and is committed to sustainable sourcing practices.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon first wear

Wear the trainers for short periods indoors with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the leather.

Scuff marks on the leather surface

Use a matching black leather polish or shoe cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the finish.

Accumulation of dust or dirt in the seams

Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently sweep away debris from the stitching and sole edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Cody trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since they are crafted from real leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners. To maintain their appearance, wipe away dirt with a slightly damp cloth after each use. We recommend applying a high-quality leather cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When storing your shoes, use shoe trees to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture from within. For sizing compatibility, these trainers generally run true to size, but users often find a slightly thicker sock works best during the initial break-in period.
