FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature the Torsion support system, they are primarily designed as everyday lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These trainers are sized based on standard UK adult foot sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical size, keeping in mind the structured nature of the leather.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structural integrity of the midsole. Always clean by hand.
What does the Torsion system do?
The Torsion system is a technology that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved stability and a smoother gait.
Are these sneakers weather-resistant?
The leather upper provides better protection against light rain than fabric shoes, but they are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and conform to your foot shape.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the appearance.
Foot discomfort during long walks
Ensure your laces are properly tightened to secure the midfoot, or consider an aftermarket insole if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are ready-to-wear trainers, no complex setup is required. To maintain the condition of the leather, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, utilize a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner to prevent the material from drying out or cracking. Avoid submerging these trainers in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the leather finish.
