FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, though the narrow build of the vintage silhouette means those with wider feet may prefer sizing up by half a size.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and do not feature the modern impact protection or specialized arch support needed for intense sports.
How do I clean the suede accents?
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently lift stains and restore the nap of the material.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, the leather is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray if you intend to wear them in light rain.
What is the benefit of the vulcanized sole?
Vulcanized soles offer a thinner, more flexible profile that provides excellent ground contact and durability for casual wear.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
They are comfortable for daily walking, but because they prioritize style over advanced cushioning, they may feel firmer than dedicated walking or running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the cotton laces with a textured alternative if they continue to slip.
Leather looks dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for sneakers to restore shine and maintain material suppleness.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Loosen the top three eyelets completely to open the throat of the shoe fully before inserting your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Blazers maintain their vintage appeal, follow these care guidelines. Since they are crafted with premium leather and suede, avoid machine washing, which can damage the materials and glue bonds. Instead, wipe the leather surfaces with a damp cloth and use a soft-bristled brush specifically for the suede areas to remove dirt. Compatibility-wise, these sneakers feature a standard fit; if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider opting for a half-size larger than your standard shoe size. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring over time.
