FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
The Josef Seibel Claire 03 Trainers are designed for supportive and lasting comfort during everyday outings and casual wear, not for high-impact sports or running. Their construction prioritizes daily comfort and style.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the trainers feature removable insoles, allowing you to easily replace them with your preferred orthotics or comfort insoles.
How do I clean the leather uppers?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a reputable leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for footwear.
Are the trainers waterproof?
The leather uppers offer some natural resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain and puddles, and considering a waterproofing spray specifically for leather if you anticipate exposure to wet conditions.
What is 'standard fitting'?
Standard fitting refers to a general medium width that accommodates most foot shapes. If you typically require narrow or wide-fit footwear, you may want to try them on to ensure the best comfort.
How do I use the side zip?
The side zip provides convenient easy entry and exit. Once you've adjusted the laces for your ideal fit, you can primarily use the side zip to put on or take off the trainers without having to re-tie the laces every time.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the laces for a more customized fit. Ensure the side zip is fully closed. Consider if the removable insoles could be swapped for thinner/thicker ones, or if custom orthotics are causing fit issues.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes squeaking can come from friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole and placing a thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole material against certain surfaces.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather uppers thoroughly and apply a quality leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and shine, protecting the material from cracking.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure your laces are not too tight or too loose. If the discomfort persists, consider replacing the removable insoles with specialized comfort or support insoles that better suit your foot arch and needs.

Product Care
Maintaining the quality and appearance of your leather trainers requires consistent care:
- Cleaning Leather Uppers: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, especially in dry climates.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris and maintain traction.
- Textile Lining: Allow the interior to air out after each wear. For minor cleaning, a damp cloth can be used on the textile lining.
