FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but if you prefer extra room for insoles, some users opt for a half-size up.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing will destroy the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Stick to manual cleaning methods.
How do I protect the leather?
Apply a high-quality leather water and stain repellent spray, ensuring you test a small, inconspicuous area first.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a dust bag in a cool, dry area. Avoid keeping them in high-humidity environments which can affect the leather.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can use any standard flat athletic shoelace that matches the length of the original ones to maintain the intended look.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when the trainers are not being worn to help retain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs
Use a specialized leather eraser or a professional-grade leather cleaner to gently buff out marks without damaging the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your BAPE STA trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dirt after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, followed by a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the rich brown colour over time. Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shape of the leather upper and prevent unnecessary creasing.
