FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather construction offers some protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof.

Can I use these for long-distance running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and urban activities, not professional sports.

How do I clean the white portions of the sole?

Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution to gently scrub the rubber outsole.

Do these trainers run true to size?

They generally follow standard sizing; however, individual fit can vary based on personal preference for roominess.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles are designed to be part of the shoe construction, though minor adjustments may be possible.

Are these suitable for gym use?

They provide basic stability, but they are better suited for walking and lifestyle use rather than heavy lifting or gym workouts.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces feel too slippery or stiff initially.

Creasing on the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape and minimize natural leather creasing.

Outsole losing traction

Check the tread for embedded pebbles or debris and clean the rubber grip with a stiff brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather exterior stands up to daily wear
  • Lightweight EVA midsole offers all-day comfort
  • Versatile running-inspired design fits many styles
  • Structured grip prevents slipping on city streets

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-intensity competitive running
  • Leather material requires specific maintenance
  • Limited to urban lifestyle use cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers utilize a standard lace-up system, so ensure you adjust the laces to accommodate your preferred tightness across the midfoot. For cleaning, wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or mud. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather. If the interior becomes damp, remove the laces and let them air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the shape of the padding.
