FAQs
Are these sneakers machine washable?
No, because they are constructed with leather, machine washing can cause permanent damage to the material. Stick to surface cleaning.
Can I replace the decorative laces?
The laces are designed primarily for aesthetic purposes and are often secured; it is recommended to keep them as is to maintain the intended design.
Do I need to break them in?
Like most leather shoes, they may feel slightly stiff initially but will contour to your foot shape after a few short periods of wear.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
Leather is water-resistant to an extent, but not waterproof. It is best to treat them with a leather protectant spray if you live in a damp climate.
What is the fit like for this series?
The Alex series is designed as a standard fit. If you typically wear a UK 5, this size should provide the expected comfort without significant slippage.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at the instep.
Ensure the elastic goring is not twisted. If it remains tight, consider using a thinner sock or letting the leather naturally stretch over a few days of wear.
Visible scuffs on the leather.
Use a leather conditioner or a color-matched cream polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-ons, there is no setup required beyond putting them on. To ensure longevity, keep the leather clean by wiping away dust with a soft, dry cloth after use. If you encounter stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the leather and the structure of the elastic goring. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
