FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Josef Seibel Claire 03 Trainers are designed with a standard fitting. While the leather may offer some stretch over time, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, due to the high-quality leather construction, these trainers should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure. Please follow the care instructions for cleaning leather footwear.
What is the benefit of removable insoles?
Removable insoles allow for greater customization of your footwear. You can replace them with personal orthotics for specific foot conditions, use different insoles for varying levels of cushioning or support, or simply remove them to adjust the internal volume if you need more space.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated shoe sole cleaner. A soft brush can help remove dirt from grooves. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-specific water and stain protector spray for enhanced protection against rain and spills.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers are listed in UK sizing. It's generally best to choose your regular shoe size. If you are unsure, you may want to measure your foot and compare it to a brand-specific size chart, or consult with a footwear specialist.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a breaking-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, verify the size and consider using the removable insoles to adjust internal volume, or try a thinner sock.
Side zip becomes stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the zip is clean and free from debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth of the zipper, then gently work the slider up and down to distribute it. Avoid forcing the zip.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather thoroughly to remove any dirt. Then, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and moisturize the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lace Adjustment: Upon first wear, untie the laces and loosen them sufficiently. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
- Secure Fit: Tighten the laces to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit across your instep. Tie a secure knot or bow.
- Utilize Side Zip: For subsequent wears, you can often use the side zip to put on or take off the trainers without needing to re-tie the laces.
Compatibility
These trainers feature a standard fitting, making them compatible with most average foot widths. The removable insoles offer compatibility with personal orthotic inserts, allowing you to customize the internal support to your preference.
Care
Given the high-quality leather uppers, proper care is crucial for maintaining the trainers' appearance and extending their lifespan.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the trainers are frequently exposed to dry conditions.
- Drying: If wet, allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for leather footwear to guard against elements and spills.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
