FAQs

How do I determine my correct European size?

The shoes are described as true to size in European sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and consult a size chart if unsure, though typically, you should order your standard European shoe size.

What is the sole height?

The sole height is 40 mm.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended due to the mixed materials. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is made from 88% Leather and 12% Polyester.

Does this model come with extra laces?

Yes, a pair of spare flat laces is included with the sneakers.

How should I care for the suede parts of the shoe?

For the suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to maintain its texture and appearance. Address any dirt or stains promptly.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These sneakers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities. The rubber outsole provides grip for walking.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel insecure

Re-tie the laces, ensuring they are pulled taut through the eyelets for a snug fit. Use the spare laces if the originals are worn.

Slight discomfort on first wear

This is normal as the shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Outer sole feels slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip should improve with light wear on various surfaces.

Material scuffing or staining

Address stains immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on leather, use a leather cleaner. Use a suede brush for suede areas.
